Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of New Hampshire's Lakes Region and the distant, dramatic peaks of the White Mountains during the descent into the Upper Valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

North Shore Coastline

Distant views of the rugged Massachusetts coast, including Marblehead and Salem, as the plane climbs and turns north.

🚤

Lake Winnipesaukee

Incredible views of New Hampshire's largest lake, dotted with hundreds of islands, visible shortly after passing Manchester.

🏔️

The White Mountains

On clear days, the Presidential Range and Mount Washington are visible to the north, often capped with snow from late autumn through spring.

🏛️

New Hampshire State House

Spot the distinctive gold dome of the capitol building in Concord while flying over the Merrimack Valley.

🍁

Upper Valley Foliage

A dense tapestry of hardwood forests that turns into a vibrant palette of reds and oranges during the peak weeks of October.

The right side is best for morning flights to avoid glare while capturing the Lakes Region. This route is exceptionally short (approx. 30-40 mins), so keep your window shade up from takeoff. For the best experience, book during early to mid-October to see the world-famous New England fall foliage at its peak intensity.

7.2
🏙️

Boston & Cambridge

Bird's-eye view of the Charles River, Harvard University, and the dense urban grid of Somerville and Cambridge immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Monadnock

Look west to see the isolated peak of Monadnock, one of the most frequently climbed mountains in the world, standing out against the rolling hills.

🏢

Manchester Cityscape

Aerial view of New Hampshire's largest city and the historic brick mill buildings lining the Merrimack River.

🌲

Green Mountains Edge

The foothills of the Vermont Green Mountains begin to rise on the western horizon as the plane nears the Connecticut River.

💧

Connecticut River

Glittering views of the border river between NH and VT as the flight enters the final approach pattern for LEB.

Sit on the left for spectacular sunset views during evening flights, as the sun drops behind the Vermont peaks. During early morning flights, look for low-lying 'valley fog' snaking through the Connecticut River valley, creating a mystical landscape effect.
