Elizabeth Islands
Aerial view of the rugged, chain-like islands including Cuttyhunk and Naushon stretching into the Atlantic.
Buzzards Bay
Watch for ferries and fishing vessels navigating the deep blue waters between the mainland and the islands.
Historic Plymouth
Glimpse the coastal town where the Pilgrims landed, visible as you track north along the South Shore.
Boston Skyline
A prime view of the Prudential Tower, Hancock Building, and the Financial District during the landing sequence.
Fenway Park

Sit on the left for the best chance to capture the city skyline. This is especially scenic during 'Golden Hour' flights when the sun sets behind the city. For the shortest flight in the region, keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the transition from island to mainland happens very quickly.
