Cumberland River
Watch the winding turns of the Cumberland River as the aircraft climbs out of the Tennessee valley.
Susquehanna River
A wide, majestic crossing over one of the oldest river systems in the world in Pennsylvania.
NYC Horizon
On clear days, the distinctive Manhattan skyline is often visible in the distance to the south.
Long Island Sound
The sparkling transition from the mainland to the Atlantic coast as you cross into New England airspace.
Boston Harbor Islands
A breathtaking view of the harbor islands and the downtown skyline during the final approach into Logan.
The right side is the 'money' side for the descent into Boston, especially during evening flights when the city lights reflect off the harbor. Look out for the Cape Cod peninsula extending into the ocean on the far right horizon about 20 minutes before landing. In autumn, the foliage transition from the mid-Atlantic to New England is highly visible from this side.

Appalachian Ridges
Dramatic views of the parallel mountain ridges stretching across West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Catskill Mountains
Dense forest canopies and rugged terrain visible as the flight traverses over Upstate New York.
Quabbin Reservoir
The massive, island-dotted reservoir in central Massachusetts serves as a major landmark before descent.
Charles River & Fenway
On specific landing patterns from the west, you can spot the iconic Green Monster and the river basin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for observing the geological texture of the Appalachian Mountains. During the final descent, keep your camera ready for the dense urban layout of Cambridge and Somerville if the flight approaches from the northwest.
