Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Atlantic coastline, featuring the Long Island Sound, the Boston metropolitan area, and the rugged islands of the Maine coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Long Island Sound

Expansive views of the Connecticut shoreline and the northern beaches of Long Island.

🌆

Boston Harbor

A clear view of the Boston skyline, the Charles River, and the numerous islands dotting the harbor.

🌊

Maine's Jagged Coast

The dramatic transition to the rocky, inlet-filled coastline that Maine is famous for.

⚓

Penobscot Bay

Stunning views of the islands and maritime traffic as the aircraft begins its final descent into Bangor.

Sit on the right side for the best coastal experience. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Atlantic Ocean and highlights the rocky textures of the Maine islands. Aim for a seat ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Dramatic views of the Midtown and Upper East Side skyscrapers during the initial climb out of LGA.

🏞️

Connecticut River Valley

The winding path of New England's longest river as it flows through lush greenery.

⛰️

The White Mountains

On clear days, the distant peaks of New Hampshire, including Mount Washington, are visible to the west.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the dense interior forests and mountain ranges of New England as you cross into Maine territory.
