Left-side seats face south during approach, providing views of the Delaware River, the Schuylkill River confluence, and central Philadelphia's skyline as the aircraft descends into the airport. Notable sights include: Delaware River (forming the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border), Schuylkill River, Philadelphia's downtown skyline and William Penn statue atop City Hall, the Tinicum Island marshlands to the south.
