Cape Cod & Islands
Aerial view of the distinct hook-shaped peninsula and Martha's Vineyard shortly after takeoff.
The Outer Banks
A stunning look at the narrow barrier islands of North Carolina separated from the mainland by vast sounds.
Coastal Cities
Distant views of Atlantic City, Charleston, and Savannah's intricate river systems and ports.
Space Coast
If the flight path hugs the coast, you may see the Kennedy Space Center launch pads near Cape Canaveral.
Choose this side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better if the flight path is routed further offshore, as it provides the best views of the transition from deep blue ocean to coastal shallows.
