ALB → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Albany International Airport (Albany) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this short hop, offering views of the highest peaks in Massachusetts and a more direct look at the iconic Boston skyline during the final descent into Logan.
Search flights from ALB to BOS
Mount Greylock
The highest point in Massachusetts, identifiable by the Veterans War Memorial Tower at its summit.
Pioneer Valley
The urban corridor of Springfield and Holyoke stretching along the winding Connecticut River.
Boston Skyline & Fenway
Unmatched views of the Prudential Tower, Hancock Building, and Fenway Park as the plane aligns with Logan's runways.
The right side is the 'city side.' For the best lighting on the Boston skyline, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the buildings from the west. If landing on Runway 27, you will fly directly past the skyscraper district at a very low altitude.

Mohawk Trail State Forest
Dense, rugged woodland and deep valleys of the northern Berkshires visible shortly after departure.
Quabbin Reservoir
One of the largest man-made reservoirs in the US, appearing as a vast, island-dotted blue expanse.
North Shore Coastline
On northern approaches, view the rocky shores of Marblehead and Salem before turning into the harbor.
Look north to spot the distant Green Mountains of Vermont on clear days. This side is particularly stunning during the first two weeks of October for peak fall foliage. Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the reservoir's complex shoreline.
