Boston Skyline & Harbor
Unmatched views of the Financial District, the Charles River, and the historic islands of Boston Harbor during the initial climb.
North Shore Massachusetts
Observe the rocky coast of Cape Ann, including the historic fishing ports of Gloucester and Rockport.
Maine Coastline
The jagged 'rock-bound' coast of Maine, including Portland and the numerous islands of Casco Bay.
Acadia National Park
On clear days, identify Cadillac Mountain and the rugged, forested terrain of Mount Desert Island from high altitude.
Bay of Fundy
Witness the dramatic waters between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, famous for having the highest tides in the world.
Sit on the left (Port) side for land views. For the best lighting, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Maine coast. In winter, keep an eye out for the striking contrast between the snow-covered forests and the dark Atlantic waters. If departing via the 22L or 22R runways, you will get a spectacular bank over the city immediately after takeoff.

Massachusetts Bay
Vast ocean views looking back toward the hook of Cape Cod and the open Atlantic.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Watch for large container ships and fishing trawlers navigating the Gulf of Maine.
Nova Scotia South Shore
As you approach Halifax, look for the rugged inlets and granite outcrops of the province's southern coast.
St. Margarets Bay
Beautiful deep blue waters and coastal communities visible during the final descent into Stanfield International.
The right side is ideal for sunrise views on early morning departures. While it offers mostly ocean scenery during the middle of the flight, it provides an excellent perspective of the Nova Scotia coastline's unique geology during the final 15 minutes of the flight. Watch for the famous lighthouses dotted along the shore as you descend.
