BOS β GGT
Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Exuma International Airport (Great Exuma)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the iconic US East Coast landmarks and the most dramatic transition into the shallow, turquoise waters of the Great Bahama Bank.
Boston Skyline
A breathtaking view of the Prudential Tower, Fenway Park, and the Charles River shortly after takeoff.
Mid-Atlantic Coastline
Glimpses of Long Island's south shore, the Jersey Shore, and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.
The Outer Banks
The delicate, sandy thread of North Carolinaβs barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Great Bahama Bank
The mesmerizing shift from navy blue to neon turquoise as the plane crosses into the shallow limestone banks.
The Exuma Cays
The world-famous chain of 365 cays appearing like green jewels scattered across a sea of pale blue.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to capture the full spectrum of water colors without obstruction. This side is consistently the most scenic for the final 30 minutes of the flight as you track the Exuma island chain. Afternoon flights may experience some glare, so polarized sunglasses are recommended for viewing the reefs.
Cape Cod and Islands
Aerial view of the distinct hook-shaped peninsula of Massachusetts and the upscale retreats of Martha's Vineyard.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic, particularly stunning during morning flights with the sun reflecting off the water.
Eleuthera Coastline
The long, thin profile of Eleuthera Island, marking the boundary between the deep ocean and the shallow banks.
Exuma Sound
Deep indigo waters that provide a sharp contrast to the lighter reefs as you begin the final descent.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft light hitting the New England coast. It is also the better side for spotting Eleuthera and the Glass Window Bridge if the flight path tracks slightly east.
