Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular vantage point for viewing the dense megalopolis of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, including potential sightings of the New York City and Philadelphia skylines depending on the specific flight corridor.
Florida Gold Coast
Aerial views of the densely populated coastline stretching from Miami up through Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
Mid-Atlantic Metros
Distant views of the Washington D.C. monuments and the Baltimore Inner Harbor during the transit through the Maryland corridor.
Manhattan Skyline
On clear days, the iconic skyscrapers of New York City and the Hudson River are often visible as the plane bypasses the NJ/NY airspace.
Charles River
During the final approach into Logan, catch views of the winding Charles River and the campuses of Harvard and MIT.
Fenway Park
A glimpse of the historic baseball stadium and the Back Bay neighborhood as the plane banks for its final descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the sunset on evening flights. This side provides the best perspective of the urban sprawl and city lights of the Northeast Corridor. Keep an eye out for the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge when passing New York.
Atlantic Horizon
Endless views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, occasionally punctuated by large cargo ships and tankers.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy strips of North Carolina's barrier islands, including Cape Hatteras and its famous lighthouse.
Atlantic City
The distinctive boardwalk and high-rise casinos of New Jersey's famous seaside resort town.
The Hamptons
The luxurious estates and long stretches of white sand beaches along the southern fork of Long Island.
Martha's Vineyard
The recognizable triangular shape of the island and its coastal lagoons as you approach Massachusetts.
Boston Harbor Islands
A close-up view of the numerous small islands and lighthouses scattered throughout Boston Harbor just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers superior views of the Massachusetts islands (Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket). Watch for the distinct 'hook' shape of Cape Cod as you cross into New England airspace.
