Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Adirondack Regional Airport (Saranac Lake)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic High Peaks of the Adirondacks and a sprawling view of Lake Champlain during the descent.
North Shore Coastline
Glimpse the rugged coastline and sandy beaches of Salem and Gloucester shortly after takeoff from Logan.
White Mountains
On clear days, the distant peaks of New Hampshire, including Mount Washington, are visible to the northeast.
Lake Champlain
A spectacular view of the long, narrow lake separating Vermont and New York as you cross the border.
Adirondack High Peaks
The majestic peaks of Mount Marcy and Algonquin Peak dominate the landscape during the final approach.
Whiteface Mountain
Spot the distinctive ski trails and the summit of one of New York's most famous mountains near Lake Placid.
The right side is essential for seeing the Adirondack High Peaks. For the best photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. Look for the Olympic ski jumps near Lake Placid just before landing at SLK.
Boston Skyline
Panoramic views of downtown Boston, the Prudential Center, and the Charles River immediately after departure.
Green Mountains
Fly over the lush, forested ridges of Vermont's primary mountain range during the mid-flight segment.
Quabbin Reservoir
View the massive man-made reservoir in central Massachusetts, known as the 'Accidental Wilderness'.
Southern Adirondacks
See the dense wilderness and smaller lakes of the southern Adirondack Park region as you begin the descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Boston skyline during a westbound takeoff. In autumn, this side offers incredible views of the foliage across the Green Mountains of Vermont. Afternoon flights are best to avoid the glare of the setting sun.
