BUF → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (Buffalo) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides provide views of the Finger Lakes and rural New England, the right side is generally superior for the iconic approach into Logan Airport, often showcasing the Boston skyline and Fenway Park.
Buffalo Skyline
Immediate views of downtown Buffalo and the Canalside district during the initial ascent from BUF.
Southern Finger Lakes
Excellent views of the sprawling vineyards and hilly terrain surrounding Keuka and Canandaigua Lakes.
The Berkshires
Fly directly over the rolling green hills and dense forests of western Massachusetts, stunning during peak foliage.
Boston Skyline & Fenway
If landing on Runway 4R or 27, you get a front-row seat to the Prudential Tower, Hancock Building, and Fenway Park.
Boston Harbor Islands
Views of the historic lighthouses and small islands dotting the harbor during the final seconds of the flight.
The right side is essential for sunset views during evening flights. To maximize your chances of seeing the Boston skyline, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the city isn't blocked during the banking turns into Logan.
Lake Ontario
Visibility of the vast blue expanse of the eastern edge of Lake Ontario shortly after departure.
Northern Finger Lakes
Bird's-eye view of the northern tips of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, known for their deep glacial waters.
Green Mountains
On clear days, the distant peaks of southern Vermont are visible as the plane crosses the New York-Massachusetts border.
Massachusetts North Shore
As the flight nears Boston, the coastal towns of Salem and Marblehead can be seen during the descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Adirondacks in the distance. Morning flights offer the best lighting on this side without the glare of the southern sun.
