The Berkshires
Rolling peaks and dense forests of Western Massachusetts visible shortly after departure from Boston.
Finger Lakes
Breathtaking views of the long, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York, specifically Seneca and Cayuga.
Lake Erie
The vast horizon of the Great Lake and the Cleveland metropolitan area visible on northerly flight paths.
Ohio Plains
The intricate geometric patterns of the vast Midwestern agricultural heartland as you cross into the Ohio Valley.
The Finger Lakes are the crown jewel of this route; look for them roughly 45 minutes after takeoff. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind you, providing clear, high-contrast views of the terrain. If the flight path tracks north of the standard corridor, keep an eye out for the Lake Erie shoreline.
