Spectacular night approach to New York City followed by landing at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) runway 22

On board an American Airlines 737-823 registration N878NN for approach and landing on runway 22 at New York’s LaGuardia Airport (IATA: LGA, ICAO: KLGA, FAA LID: LGA) after having flown in from Miami International Airport (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA, FAA LID: MIA) in Miami, Florida, United States
Enjoy the beautiful night views all the way from New York Harbor through the approach and landing and eventually parking at the gate.
As an added bonus, the lead flight attendant does a fantastic job of narrating some of the sights among the way.
Among the sights you will see from the air are:
- Statue of Liberty
- Newark Liberty Airport
- Manhattan
- One World Trade Center
- Brooklyn Bridge
- Manhattan Bridge
- Williamsburg Bridge
- Ed Koch / Queensboro / 59th Street Bridge
- Bronx Whitestone Bridge
- Throgs Neck Bridge
- LaGuardia Airport (from above and from the ground)

Pilot was very nice enough to be our tour guide of NYC. very brilliant

[@newyorktransportation]

@videoconcord It was actually the lead flight attendant (not the pilot) but regardless it was very nice of him to give us the guided tour of NYC.

[@gignaposixsix9821]

I'm amazed that pilots gave this sort of guided tour over Manhattan, nice treat !!

[@oufukubinta]

That's a captain who takes pride in his city 😊

[@newyorktransportation]

@oufukubinta It was the lead flight attendant but regardless, agreed that yes he’s he does indeed take pride in his city.

[@candlelight33]

Beautiful scenery especially at night

[@newyorktransportation]

@candlelight33 Agreed!

[@PeterMasella]

WOW - I have never heard a flight attendant do that! That was amazing!

[@newyorktransportation]

@PeterMasella Yes he was great and also the first time I ever heard a flight attendant do that. He started the narrative a few minutes earlier but unfortunately I didn’t catch the beginning on video. Also, in general he was an amazing flight attendant and made the first class experience truly feel first class (which isn’t always the case nowadays). By the way I love your videos and the unique perspective you provide!

[@jamesmiller171]

As scenic in its way as landing there by day. Beautiful.

[@newyorktransportation]

Beautiful saying and agreed!

[@andrewthevideomakerguyest.8920]

How come the flights attendant didn’t make the announcement when you guys landed

[@newyorktransportation]

I was waiting for him to make the welcome announcement. However from what I could overhear, he was chitchatting with a flight attendant in the other jump seat when we landed and likely simply forgot to make the welcome announcement. It was a bit ironic how he made all those earlier sightseeing announcements but then forgot to make the required welcome announcement (not that most people pay attention to them anyways)

[@andrewthevideomakerguyest.8920]

@@newyorktransportation Oh ok. Well that’s unexpected lol

[@newyorktransportation]

@andrewthevideomakerguyest.8920 Yes unexpected but it is my best guess as to why he forgot. He was an excellent flight attendant for us in the first class cabin so he gets a pass for forgetting the welcome announcement. 😉

[@andrewthevideomakerguyest.8920]

@@newyorktransportation Haha yup!!

[@jwkovacs722]

Definitely a flight attendant doing the narration. The reason you can tell that is because there was no ATC chatter

[@newyorktransportation]

@jwkovacs722 Yes plus it’s a sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet and also I could see the flight attendant talking into the microphone from my seat.

Oh that's so cool what do you do!? Commercial aviation is my biggest hobby and I really like CLT not so much the airport but it's my favorite area. Awesome overlook tho the new one looking like it could even be better.

[@newyorktransportation]

@charlotteman9397 Aviation is a hobby of mine along with other types of transportation. While I haven’t spent much time in Charlotte itself, I’ve passed through CLT countless times (some of which are documented on this channel) and love the other parts of NC I have visited.

You landed on Runway 22

[@newyorktransportation]

@ArnoldAaron Yes correct runway 22

[@npkrn6764]

If thats the captain giving the history voice tour about elephants 🐘 I sure hope he's watching what he's doing!!!😂 And I suppose if he ever wants to retire from being a commercial pilot, he could give the helicoptor tours!

[@AndrewSmith-rk4di]

Nah def the flight attendant, hes under 10,000 ft. he would get fired

I bet you cannot see one star at night. Not a single one.

[@tjr4459]

That’s a common myth by those who don’t live in NYC. You can definitely see some stars on a clear night in the city.

[@visionist7]

There is an astronomical observatory, I think in Colombia University. So they must be able to see something at least with a giant ass telescope lol

All that wasted power to house lemmings. I would never live in such a congested area. Jesus. Never seen such waste.

No New Yorker cares what you think, Mr. Carr. You're not the first one who can't hack it and feigns disdain. We know the type. I have friends in Boston and Chicago who hear exactly the same thing.
