Which side of the plane to sit from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (Baltimore) to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (Manchester NH)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a premier tour of the Northeast Corridor, featuring iconic views of the Philadelphia and New York City skylines, the Long Island Sound, and the Connecticut coastline.
Chesapeake Bay
Immediate views of the upper Chesapeake and the intricate network of inlets around Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Philadelphia Skyline
A clear view of Center City's skyscrapers and the Ben Franklin Bridge spanning the Delaware River.
Manhattan & New York City
The crown jewel of the flight: a sweeping view of the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty.
Long Island Sound
The beautiful blue waters separating the Connecticut coastline from the northern shores of Long Island.
New Haven
Spot the historic campus of Yale University and the distinctive New Haven harbor.
Hartford Skyline
The capital of Connecticut is often visible as the plane begins its descent toward New Hampshire.
Sit behind the wing on the right side for the best unobstructed photos of the NYC skyline. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the cities perfectly. During the autumn, the coastal foliage transition from Connecticut into New Hampshire is spectacular from this side.
Susquehanna River
Aerial view of the massive Susquehanna River as it flows into the Chesapeake Bay near Havre de Grace.
Lancaster Farmlands
Checkered patterns of the fertile agricultural lands in rural Pennsylvania Dutch country.
The Hudson Highlands
The dramatic narrowing of the Hudson River valley north of New York City.
Quabbin Reservoir
One of the largest untreated water supply reservoirs in the United States, visible as you cross into Massachusetts.
Choose the left side if you are flying during the late afternoon to avoid the intense sun glare from the east. It offers a more peaceful, pastoral view of the Appalachian foothills and the rolling hills of Central Massachusetts. Keep an eye out for the distinct Lackawanna Valley transition in the distance.
