Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Mexicali to Newark. While takeoff offers interesting desert and agricultural scenery on the right, the landing approach into Newark provides more dramatic and visually distinctive urban and water features on the left. The Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, and Newark Bay create a more compelling viewing experience during the final descent.

During takeoff from General Rodolfo Sanchez Taboada International (MXL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Colorado River delta and Imperial Valley agricultural fields immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs northeastward, and right-side windows capture the stark contrast between irrigated cropland and the desert terrain that dominates the climb-out phase. Notable sights include: Colorado River (visible as a thin line marking the US-Mexico border), Imperial Valley (geometric patchwork of green and brown fields), sand dunes and desert scrub extending east toward the Chocolate Mountains.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Newark. The aircraft approaches from the southwest, and left windows frame the Hudson River, Manhattan's skyline, and the New Jersey industrial corridor. The dramatic urban landscape and water features dominate the final descent. Notable sights include: Hudson River (wide, dark waterway separating New Jersey from Manhattan), Manhattan skyline (distinctive cluster of tall buildings), Newark Bay and Port Newark container terminals, New Jersey Meadowlands (flat, developed lowlands).

The flight from General Rodolfo Sanchez Taboada International (MXL) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Colorado Plateau and Rocky Mountain region. Notable features visible during cruise include the Grand Canyon (if the flight path passes near it—typically visible as a deep, narrow gorge with reddish-brown walls), the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, the Rio Grande valley in New Mexico, and the Great Plains extending eastward. The flight then crosses the Mississippi River valley before approaching the Northeast. The Appalachian Mountains appear as low, forested ridges during the final descent into the Newark area.
