Boston Harbor Islands

A cluster of historic islands and lighthouses visible immediately after takeoff from Logan Airport.

The unique archipelago of Grand Isle and North Hero surrounded by the deep blue waters of the lake.

🌉

Lake Champlain Bridge

The striking architecture of the bridge connecting Crown Point to Chimney Point.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun rising over the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the distance. During fall foliage season, this side captures the most vibrant colors along the Vermont slopes.

🏙️

Boston Skyline

Direct views of the Back Bay, Prudential Center, and Fenway Park if the flight departs to the west or north.

🌲

Green Mountain National Forest

Dense wilderness and rolling ridgelines characteristic of central Vermont's mountainous terrain.
