Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the iconic Finger Lakes region and potential glimpses of the Great Lakes coastline, typically benefiting from better lighting on westbound afternoon flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Hudson Valley

Deep blue waters of the Hudson River cutting through the Highlands south of Albany.

🏔️

Appalachian Ridges

The distinct parallel mountain waves of central Pennsylvania stretching toward the horizon.

🌉

Susquehanna River

Wide river vistas and industrial bridges near the crossing of the Pennsylvania border.

🏟️

Indy Skyline

Prime views of downtown Indianapolis and Lucas Oil Stadium during the final descent into IND.

Seats on the left will experience significant sun glare on morning flights. Watch for the dramatic curves of the Susquehanna River about midway through the journey. On the final approach into Indianapolis from the east, the left side provides an excellent perspective of the city center if the aircraft lands on the 23 runways.
