ATL → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic urban and mountain vistas, specifically the Appalachian ridges and a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline during the trek up the Northeast Corridor.
Appalachian Mountains
Stunning views of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains shortly after departure from Atlanta.
Shenandoah Valley
The lush green expanse of the Virginia valley and the winding Potomac River.
Philadelphia Skyline
Clear views of the Center City skyscrapers as the flight passes over Eastern Pennsylvania.
Manhattan Skyline
The crown jewel of the route; enjoy a panoramic view of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the Hudson River.
Hartford Skyline
The capital of Connecticut and the surrounding valley visible during the initial descent phase.
Book a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of NYC. Evening flights are particularly magical as the Northeast Corridor lights up. In autumn, the foliage over the Appalachians is world-class.
Chesapeake Bay
Expansive views of the massive estuary, including the many bridges and inlets of Maryland.
The Jersey Shore
The coastline of New Jersey with its sandy beaches and coastal towns stretched along the Atlantic.
Long Island Sound
The sparkling waters separating Long Island from the Connecticut coast, dotted with sailboats.
Narragansett Bay
The beautiful Rhode Island coastline and the Newport Bridge are often visible before the final turn.
Boston Harbor Islands
On the final approach to Logan, you will pass directly over the historic harbor islands and fortresses.
The right side is best for sunrise flights to catch the light reflecting off the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for a close-up of the Boston Harbor and the city's waterfront.
