New England Coast
Continuous views of the transition from the sandy beaches of Massachusetts to the rocky shores of Maine.
Casco Bay Islands
The famous 'Calendar Islands' dotting the blue waters just off the coast of Portland, Maine.
Penobscot Bay
A scenic stretch filled with sailboats, windjammers, and the coastal silhouettes of Camden and Rockland.
Acadia National Park
Dramatic views of Cadillac Mountain and the rugged coastline of Mount Desert Island during the final descent.
Maine Lighthouses
Spot multiple historic beacons, including the Portland Head Light, perched on rocky outcroppings along the route.
The right side is the definitive 'scenic side' for this flight. Since this route is often served by smaller aircraft flying at lower altitudes, the detail of the coastline is exceptional. Late afternoon flights offer the best photography lighting as the sun illuminates the rocky cliffs of Acadia.

Boston Skyline
A stunning view of the Back Bay and Financial District immediately after takeoff from Logan Airport.
North Shore Towns
Aerial views of historic maritime communities including Salem, Marblehead, and Ipswich.
White Mountains
On clear days, the distant snow-capped or granite peaks of New Hampshire are visible to the far west.
Maine North Woods
A vast expanse of deep green pine forests and inland lakes as you cross into Maine territory.
Choose the left side for the best departure views of the Boston skyline. This side is especially rewarding in early to mid-October when the inland forests of Maine exhibit vibrant autumn colors. It also avoids the direct sun glare during morning flights heading northeast.
