Cape Ann
The rocky granite coastline of Gloucester and Rockport extending into the Atlantic.
Isles of Shoals
A cluster of nine small islands straddling the border of New Hampshire and Maine.
Casco Bay Islands
The 'Calendar Islands' scattered across the bay near Portland, showcasing Maine's maritime beauty.
Coastal Lighthouses
Potential sightings of the Portland Head Light and the Pemaquid Point Light during the descent.
Midcoast Peninsulas
The dramatic, jagged 'fingers' of land that define the Maine coast south of Rockland.
The right side is superior for maritime scenery. For morning flights, the sun rises over the ocean, creating a beautiful shimmer on the water. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight as the aircraft descends over the islands of Penobscot Bay; the views of the pine-covered islands and lobster boats are quintessential Maine.

Boston Skyline
A clear view of the Financial District and Back Bay immediately after departing Logan Airport.
North Shore Towns
Aerial views of historic Salem, Marblehead, and the winding Essex River.
Portland City Center
Looking down at the Old Port district and the densest urban area in Maine.
White Mountains
On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of New Hampshire are visible on the horizon.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Boston skyline during takeoff. If flying during the late afternoon, this side experiences less direct sun glare, making it easier to spot the distant mountains in New Hampshire. Look for the distinct shape of the Portland peninsula as you pass mid-way through the flight.
