Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views of the New England mountain ranges and the best chance to see the iconic Montreal skyline on arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Massachusetts North Shore

Early flight views of the rocky Atlantic coastline and historic coastal towns like Salem and Marblehead.

🏔️

White Mountains

Distant but impressive views of the Presidential Range and New Hampshire's famous granite peaks.

🌲

Green Mountains

A continuous view of Vermont's rolling green ridges and dense hardwood forests during the mid-flight segment.

🏙️

Montreal Skyline

Superior views of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers during the standard southern approach path.

🛶

St. Lawrence River

Cross the majestic St. Lawrence River, offering a perfect sense of the scale of the Montreal archipelago before landing.

The right side is preferred for morning flights to catch the early light on the mountains. In autumn, this side offers world-class views of the vibrant red and orange fall foliage across Vermont and southern Quebec.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Boston Skyscrapers

Aerial views of the Back Bay and the Charles River immediately after departure from Logan Airport.

🏞️

Wachusett Mountain

A standalone peak in central Massachusetts providing a clear landmark during the initial climb.

🌊

Lake Champlain Basin

Broad vistas of the lake's western shore and the Adirondack mountains in the far distance.

🏘️

Montreal West Island

A detailed look at the suburban landscape and the Lachine Rapids as you descend into YUL.

The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the setting sun. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Lake Champlain valley and the transition into the St. Lawrence Lowlands.
