New York Harbor
A stunning perspective of the Financial District, Statue of Liberty, and the bridges connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Long Island Sound
The picturesque coastline of Connecticut on one side and the sprawling beaches of Long Island's North Shore on the other.
Boston Harbor
Direct views of Logan International Airport and the historic islands dotting the harbor as the plane tracks northeast.
Atlantic Coastline
The rugged, jagged granite shores and dense evergreen forests of Nova Scotia's south shore during the final descent.
The right side is essential for sunset flights to witness the urban lights of New York and Boston reflecting off the water. On clear days, the transition from the sandy beaches of New England to the rocky, dark shores of Canada is a visual highlight.

Manhattan West Side
A high-altitude view of the Hudson River, Central Park, and the Upper West Side during the initial climb out of Newark.
New England Interior
Vast stretches of the Berkshires and the dense forests of the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts and southern Maine.
Bay of Fundy
Visible as the flight crosses into Canadian airspace, showing the dramatic coastline known for the world's highest tides.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is also better for spotting the muddy, swirling waters of the Bay of Fundy as you approach the Nova Scotia peninsula.
