Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Orlando International Airport (Orlando)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the U.S. East Coast, including Cape Cod, the Outer Banks, and the Kennedy Space Center on descent.
Cape Cod & Islands
Visible shortly after takeoff from Logan, providing a stunning aerial view of the hook-shaped peninsula and Martha's Vineyard.
The Jersey Shore
Clear views of Atlantic City's skyline and the long stretches of barrier islands along the New Jersey coastline.
Outer Banks
The iconic thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands standing out against the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
Charleston Harbor
The historic waterfront of South Carolina, where the Cooper and Ashley rivers meet the sea.
Kennedy Space Center
As the flight enters Florida airspace, the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads are often visible on the coast.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to spot the VAB at Cape Canaveral. In winter, look for the stark contrast between the Gulf Stream and cooler coastal waters.
Manhattan Skyline
Depending on the flight path, a distant but majestic view of the New York City skyscrapers and Central Park.
Mid-Atlantic Urban Corridor
Aerial perspectives of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the outskirts of Washington D.C. as you head south.
Appalachian Piedmont
The rolling green hills and dense forests of Virginia and the Carolinas stretching toward the mountains.
Orlando Theme Parks
During the final approach into MCO, you may spot the iconic structures of Disney World and Universal Studios.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. If the plane approaches MCO from the north, sit here to try and spot the Epcot 'ball' or Cinderella Castle. This side also offers better views of the inland 'Thousand Lakes' region of Central Florida.
