Manhattan Skyline
Unrivaled views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and Midtown skyscrapers during the initial climb.
Yale University
The historic Gothic architecture of the New Haven campus is clearly visible mid-flight.
Providence
The capital of Rhode Island and its prominent State House dome appear as you begin your descent.
Fenway Park
On the final approach to Logan, the 'Green Monster' and the historic ballpark are visible on the left.
Charles River
The winding river separating Boston and Cambridge provides a beautiful landmark just before landing.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the NYC and Boston glass towers. This route is very short, often under 45 minutes of air time, so stay alert immediately after the 'electronics permitted' chime. For the best view of Manhattan, hope for a departure on Runway 13 or 31.

Expansive views of the North Shore beaches and the diverse coastline of Connecticut's 'Gold Coast'.
Newport Mansions
On clear days, the famous Gilded Age mansions of Rhode Island can be spotted along the rocky coast.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a more coastal, nature-oriented view compared to the urban focus of the left side. If the winds favor an approach from the northeast over the water, the right side will have the better view of the rugged Massachusetts coastline.
