Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Provincetown Municipal Airport (Provincetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Boston skyline upon departure and provides the most iconic perspective of the Cape Cod 'hook,' including the harbor and Pilgrim Monument on the approach.
Boston Skyline
Unmatched views of the Financial District, the Seaport, and the gold-domed State House immediately after takeoff.
Boston Harbor Islands
A bird's-eye view of Spectacle, Long, and Georges Islands, featuring the historic Fort Warren.
Pilgrim Monument
The towering 252-foot granite monument that serves as the primary landmark of Provincetown.
Provincetown Harbor
The colorful marina and MacMillan Pier, often dotted with high-speed ferries and fishing vessels.
Wood End Lighthouse
The isolated, square white lighthouse standing guard at the very tip of the Cape's inner curve.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the classic Cape Cod experience. On the approach to PVC, you will typically bank over the harbor, giving you a perfect photo opportunity of the town's layout and the monument. Morning flights are best on this side to keep the sun behind you for better photography.
Massachusetts Bay
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and the shipping lanes connecting Boston to the Atlantic.
Stellwagen Bank
Aerial view of the national marine sanctuary; look for whale watching boats and occasional surface activity.
Race Point Beach
The dramatic, windswept dunes and wild Atlantic shoreline of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the reflection of the sun on the Atlantic. It offers the best view of the 'outside' of the Cape's arm. Keep a sharp eye out for North Atlantic Right Whales during spring months as the plane descends toward Provincetown.
