Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the iconic New England coastline, featuring the rugged cliffs of Maine, historic seaside towns, and a stunning aerial approach to the Boston skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌲

Acadia National Park

Incredible views of Cadillac Mountain, the Cranberry Isles, and the jagged granite coastline of Downeast Maine.

🏙️

Portland and Casco Bay

Spot the many islands of Casco Bay and the urban landscape of Maine's largest city, including the historic Old Port.

🏖️

Southern Maine Beaches

Clear views of the long sandy stretches of Old Orchard Beach, Kennebunkport, and Ogunquit.

⚓

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard

Look for the Piscataqua River dividing Maine and New Hampshire, with views of the historic naval base and bridges.

🚤

Cape Ann

The rocky protrusion of Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts, marking the northern entrance to Massachusetts Bay.

🌆

Boston Skyline

Depending on the landing runway, the right side often provides a dramatic panorama of the Prudential Center and Hancock Tower.

The right side is the definitive choice for sightseers. Aim for a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Flights in autumn (October) provide stunning views of the fall foliage along the Maine and New Hampshire coasts. During the approach to BOS, keep your camera ready for the transition from the North Shore beaches to the dense urban architecture of Boston.

🏝️

Frenchman Bay

Aerial view of the Porcupine Islands and the deep blue waters surrounding Mount Desert Island immediately after departure.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Vast, uninterrupted views of the open Atlantic Ocean, where sunlight reflects off the water in brilliant patterns.

🪨

Isles of Shoals

A small cluster of rocky islands sitting approximately six miles off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine.

⛴️

Boston Harbor Islands

A view of the outer harbor islands, including the historic Boston Light on Little Brewster Island during the final descent.

Sit on the left for a serene view of the ocean. Early morning flights offer spectacular sunrises over the Atlantic, while winter flights provide a stark, beautiful contrast between the dark sea and snow-covered coastal islands.
