For evening flights, the right side offers beautiful 'golden hour' lighting on the Atlantic coast and the Boston city windows.

The left side is ideal for photographers interested in the geometric patterns of the Appalachian Mountains.

Keep an eye out for the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, which is a major landmark for this route.
