BOS → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dense urban corridor of the Eastern Seaboard, including iconic views of Manhattan, Philadelphia, and the Florida Everglades during descent.
Manhattan Skyline
On clear days, the flight path often passes right over or just west of NYC, offering views of Central Park and skyscrapers.
The Mid-Atlantic Corridor
Spot the distinct layouts of Philadelphia and the Baltimore-Washington metro areas as you fly south.
Carolina Lowcountry
Observe the intricate network of rivers, swamps, and forests characterizing the coastal plains of the Carolinas.
The Everglades
During the descent into FLL, the vast, grassy 'River of Grass' wetlands stretch out toward the western horizon.
Hard Rock Stadium
Look for the massive white canopy of the Miami Dolphins' stadium as the plane maneuvers for its final landing.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to see the NYC skyline. On late afternoon flights, you will experience a stunning sunset over the Florida Everglades as you land.
Cape Cod & Islands
Shortly after takeoff, catch views of Martha's Vineyard and the hook-shaped sandy peninsula of Cape Cod.
Long Island South Shore
Look down upon the prestigious Hamptons and the long, thin barrier islands guarding the New York coast.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Gaze out at the deep blue Atlantic where cargo ships and cruise liners often leave white wake trails.
The Bahamas Fringe
On the final approach to FLL, the turquoise waters and northern cays of the Bahamas may be visible to the far east.
Gold Coast Shoreline
Enjoy a sweeping view of the high-rise condos and turquoise waters lining the Fort Lauderdale beachfront.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also preferred if you want a clear view of the coastline and the Gulf Stream's distinct blue water as you approach Florida.
