Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a stunning coastal perspective, offering views of the Jersey Shore, the length of Long Island, the iconic New England islands, and a scenic approach over Boston Harbor.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Jersey Shore Beaches

Aerial views of the famous coastline and barrier islands stretching from Atlantic City toward New York.

🏡

The Hamptons

Fly over the luxury estates and white sand beaches of the South Fork of Long Island.

🏝️

Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket

On clear days, these iconic islands are visible in the Atlantic as you cross toward the Massachusetts coast.

⚓

Boston Harbor Islands

A spectacular final view of the harbor's drumlins and historic lighthouses during the final approach into Logan.

The right side is superior for coastal scenery. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the islands, while afternoon flights offer a beautiful glint off the Atlantic. Be ready with your camera during the last 10 minutes of the flight for the descent over the Boston Harbor Islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

New Jersey Pine Barrens

Visible shortly after takeoff, this massive forested area provides a stark green contrast to the surrounding coastal development.

🏙️

NYC Skyline

Depending on the flight path and visibility, look north to spot the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the bridges of the East River.

⛵

Connecticut Coastline

Views of the diverse inlets and historic maritime towns along the northern edge of the Long Island Sound.

🏛️

Providence, RI

As the flight nears Massachusetts, you can often see the capital city of Rhode Island and the Narragansett Bay.

Sit on the left for potential views of Manhattan in the distance during the first half of the flight. For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur and get a better angle of the New York City skyline if the pilot banks.
