Best side
Left

Left wins at both ends of the flight. Departure gives you the Pitons and St. Lucia's volcanic interior, and arrival delivers Jamaica Bay and the Manhattan skyline. The mid-flight portion over the Caribbean and US East Coast offers occasional views of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and the Bahamas chain, which are more accessible from the left side on a typical northwesterly track.

Landing at JFK

LEFT

JFK's most common arrival from the south is runway 31L/31R, approaching from the southeast over Jamaica Bay. The left side of the aircraft on this approach looks directly over Jamaica Bay, the Rockaway Peninsula, and then the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines appear to the left as the aircraft descends. The right side faces the open Atlantic and Long Island's south shore with far less visual interest.
