Cincinnati Skyline

Finger Lakes
Glimpses of the long, narrow glacial lakes in central New York during the mid-flight cruise.
The Berkshires
Rolling green mountains and dense forests as the flight crosses into Western Massachusetts.
Boston Skyline

Harvard & MIT

Book a window seat on the left for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare from the south. This side is most likely to provide the famous 'postcard' view of downtown Boston as planes typically circle north before landing. Watch for the distinct 'V' shapes of the Finger Lakes roughly 50 minutes into the flight.
