Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Earlton to Newark. The Manhattan approach on the left at EWR is one of the most spectacular urban arrivals in North America and outweighs the takeoff advantage on the right. Sit left for the full New York Harbor panorama on descent.

During takeoff from Timiskaming Rgnl (YXR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Timiskaming Regional typically departs runway 28 heading west-southwest, putting Lake Timiskaming and the Ottawa River valley on the right (north) side. The lake is a long, narrow glacial trough that's visually striking from low altitude. Notable sights include: Lake Timiskaming, Cobalt mining district, Temiskaming Shores waterfront, boreal forest patchwork.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR approaches from the northeast on runway 22L/22R heading southwest, placing Manhattan, Upper New York Bay, and the Hudson River on the left side. This is one of the most iconic urban approaches in aviation. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Upper New York Bay, Hudson River, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The flight from Timiskaming Rgnl (YXR) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

The flight tracks south-southeast over the Laurentian Plateau, crosses the Ottawa River valley, passes over the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York (visible as a broad forested highland), then the Mohawk Valley corridor, before descending over the Hudson Valley and into the New York metro area. The Adirondacks are the most visually distinctive midpoint feature — a broad, dark, lake-dotted highland with no major urban development.
