Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from New York to Chattanooga. While takeoff favors left for the New York City views, the landing approach on right seats offers superior views of the Tennessee River and Lookout Mountain—the most distinctive geographic features of the destination. Right seats capture the most visually striking portion of the flight.

During takeoff from John F Kennedy International (JFK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats offer views of the Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, and the East River as the aircraft climbs southwest out of JFK. Right seats face away from the city toward Queens and Long Island. Notable sights include: Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, East River, Upper New York Bay.

When landing at Lovell Fld (CHA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide clear views of the Tennessee River as it winds through Chattanooga and the surrounding ridge-and-valley terrain of the Cumberland Plateau. The approach from the northeast brings these features directly into view on the right side. Notable sights include: Tennessee River, Lookout Mountain, Cumberland Plateau ridges, Chattanooga downtown.

The flight from John F Kennedy International (JFK) to Lovell Fld (CHA) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Appalachian Mountains, including the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and North Carolina, and the Great Smoky Mountains on the Tennessee-North Carolina border. The Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and various river valleys (Roanoke, New River) are visible during cruise. The terrain transitions from the Atlantic Coastal Plain through the Piedmont into increasingly rugged mountain terrain as the aircraft approaches Tennessee.
