Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (Savannah)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a continuous view of the Atlantic coastline, featuring the iconic Outer Banks and the intricate marshlands of the Southern coast.
Cape Cod & Islands
Shortly after takeoff, see the hook of Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Manhattan Skyline
Clear weather allows for distant views of the NYC skyline and the Statue of Liberty while cruising south.
The Outer Banks
A major highlight featuring the long, thin barrier islands of North Carolina and the vast Pamlico Sound.
Charleston Coast
View the historic harbor of Charleston and the Fort Sumter area as you begin your descent southward.
Georgia Marshes
On the final approach, the landscape transforms into the iconic winding green marshlands surrounding Savannah.
Morning flights are best for sunrise views over the ocean. As you approach Savannah, stay alert for the transition from deep blue sea to the vibrant green of the coastal salt marshes.
Greater Boston
Initial views of the Charles River, Harvard, and MIT as the plane climbs out of Logan Airport.
Chesapeake Bay
A massive view of the largest estuary in the US, including its many tributaries and shipping lanes.
Northeast Corridor
Look for the dense urban sprawl of Philadelphia and Baltimore as you fly parallel to the coast.
Southern Pine Forests
The landscape shifts to the vast, emerald-green pine plantations and agricultural fields of the Carolinas.
Savannah River Basin
Watch the wide, winding river that marks the state line between South Carolina and Georgia during the landing phase.
Select the right side for afternoon flights to minimize sun glare. This side is excellent for observing the industrial and urban landscape of the East Coast from a higher altitude.
