Appalachian Ridges
Spectacular views of the 'Ridge-and-Valley' province of Pennsylvania, featuring long, parallel mountain folds.
New York City Skyline
On clear days, the Manhattan skyline, including the Freedom Tower and Empire State Building, is often visible on the southern horizon.
Long Island Sound
Watch the coastline transition from the Connecticut suburbs to the sparkling waters of the Sound as you approach Massachusetts.
Boston Skyline and Harbor
If landing on Runway 27, the right side provides a breathtaking, close-up view of the downtown skyscrapers and the Seaport district.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to see the 'Golden Hour' light hitting the Atlantic coast and the Boston skyline. For the best chance of a city view on landing, check the wind direction; a westerly wind usually means a path right past the Financial District.

New York Finger Lakes
The distinct, elongated glacial lakes of Upstate New York are visible to the north as you cross the Pennsylvania border.
The Berkshires
A stunning view of the rolling green peaks of western Massachusetts during the start of the descent.
Quabbin Reservoir
One of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S., which looks like a massive, jagged blue sapphire from above.
The left side is the better choice for early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare coming from the south. Keep an eye out for the unique topography of the Mohawk Valley as you transition from New York into New England.
