MCO → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior coastal perspective, featuring the Florida Space Coast, the intricate barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and a stunning approach into Boston over the harbor islands.
Cape Canaveral
Excellent views of the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the Banana River shortly after departure.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy strip of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Jersey Shore
Famous boardwalks and coastal towns visible along the New Jersey coastline.
Long Island Sound
The scenic waterway separating the Connecticut coast from the beaches of Long Island.
Boston Harbor Islands
A spectacular low-altitude view of the harbor islands and lighthouses during the final approach into Logan.
Morning flights are ideal on the right side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun while capturing the glint of the Atlantic. During the descent into BOS, look for the 'Deer Island' waste treatment plant's unique egg-shaped digesters and the historic Boston Light. If the plane lands on Runway 4R, the view of the harbor is unbeatable.
Orlando Theme Parks
Distant views of the sprawling Walt Disney World and Universal resorts shortly after takeoff.
Manhattan Skyline
On a clear day, witness the dense skyscraper clusters of Midtown and Lower Manhattan as you fly north over New Jersey.
Philadelphia Architecture
A clear view of the Center City skyline and the winding Delaware River.
Piedmont Plateau
The transition from the coastal plain to the rolling green hills of the Mid-Atlantic states.
Sit on the left for sunset views during evening flights. This side is also better for spotting inland landmarks like the Baltimore Inner Harbor or the skyscrapers of Jersey City. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the NYC skyline view.
