Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Northeast's most dramatic inland terrain, including the majestic White Mountains and the iconic Mount Katahdin.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
πŸ™οΈ

Boston Skyline

Aerial views of the Prudential Tower, Charles River, and Fenway Park immediately after takeoff from Logan.

πŸ”οΈ

White Mountains

Distant but clear views of New Hampshire's Presidential Range, including the snow-capped peak of Mount Washington.

🌲

Baxter State Park

Breathtaking views of Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest peak and the rugged northern end of the Appalachian Trail.

πŸ’§

Moosehead Lake

The largest mountain lake in the eastern United States, surrounded by vast stretches of the Maine North Woods.

Book a window seat in front of the wing for the best view of the mountains. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the White Mountains and Mount Katahdin. In autumn, this side provides an unbeatable view of the vibrant fall foliage carpeting the Maine interior.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Massachusetts North Shore

The rocky coastlines of Salem, Marblehead, and Gloucester visible shortly after departing Boston.

βš“

Casco Bay

The hundreds of small islands scattered across the bay near Portland, known locally as the Calendar Islands.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Penobscot Bay

Deep inlets and jagged peninsulas leading toward the distant silhouette of Acadia National Park.

🚜

Aroostook County Quilt

The unique geometric patterns of Maine's famous potato fields during the final descent into Presque Isle.

Afternoon flights are preferred on this side to avoid the harsh morning sun reflecting off the Atlantic. On clear days, use binoculars to spot famous coastal lighthouses like Portland Head Light. During winter, the contrast between the dark ocean and snow-covered coastline is particularly striking.
