Greenland Glaciers
Breathtaking views of the southern tip of the Greenland ice sheet, featuring massive glaciers and deep blue fjords.
Labrador Wilderness
The ancient, snow-capped Torngat Mountains and the untouched rocky wilderness of northern Canada.
Iceberg Alley
High probability of spotting large icebergs drifting south through the Labrador Sea during spring and early summer.
Maine Coastline
The densely forested 'Pine Tree State' coast, dotted with thousands of rocky islands and lighthouses.
Boston Skyline
On many approaches, this side offers a stunning close-up view of the Financial District and Back Bay skyscrapers.
This is the primary side for scenic enthusiasts. Greenland appears roughly 1.5 to 2 hours into the flight; keep your window shade up as the glare from the ice is intense. For the best views of the Maine coast and Boston skyline, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Winter flights offer the most dramatic contrast between the dark sea and white snow-covered terrain.

North Atlantic Vastness
Expansive views of the deep Atlantic with unique cloud formations and potential whale sightings in clear conditions.
Nova Scotia Shoreline
The picturesque southern coastline of Nova Scotia, including the Bay of Fundy's entrance.
Cape Cod & Islands
Clear views of the distinctive hook shape of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket as you descend.
Boston Harbor
Aerial view of the Harbor Islands and the bustling maritime traffic entering the port of Boston.
The left side is superior for evening flights if you want to witness a sunset over the horizon. During the final approach into BOS, this side often provides a clearer view of the Cape Cod peninsula. Check the flight path; if the plane approaches from the south, you'll have a great view of the South Shore beaches.
