CAK → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Akron Canton Regional Airport (Akron) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most scenic transition from the Appalachian Plateau into the Hudson Valley, and typically provides a superior view of the Boston skyline and harbor during the standard arrival patterns into Logan.
Search flights from CAK to BOS
Appalachian Plateau
Rolling hills and deep river-cut valleys across Northern Pennsylvania.
Hudson River Valley
A picturesque crossing of the historic river, often near the Catskill mountain range.
The Berkshires
Densely forested peaks and small New England towns in Western Massachusetts.
Quabbin Reservoir
One of the largest man-made reservoirs in the US, appearing as a massive blue expanse in central MA.
Boston Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Prudential Tower, Hancock Building, and the Financial District during the final descent.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On the standard arrival into BOS, the aircraft often flies north of the city before turning back over the harbor, making the left side prime for seeing the downtown skyscrapers. Morning flights are beautiful but be prepared for direct sunlight as you travel east.
