Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft is superior for this coastal route, offering continuous views of the Atlantic shoreline, the Jersey Shore, and the iconic approach over the Boston Harbor Islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Outer Banks

The narrow, sandy barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina visible during the initial climb.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay Entrance

View the mouth of the bay where the Atlantic meets the massive estuary near Virginia Beach.

🎡

Jersey Shore

Bird's-eye view of Atlantic City, its boardwalk, and the string of barrier islands along the NJ coast.

🏝️

Long Island South Shore

Spectacular views of Jones Beach, Fire Island, and the Hamptons as you bypass New York.

🐚

Narragansett Bay

The intricate coastline and islands of Rhode Island just before the final descent into Boston.

🚢

Boston Harbor Islands

A low-altitude view of historic lighthouses and islands like Georges and Spectacle on final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the coastline illuminated by the rising sun. It offers the most consistent maritime views and is nearly guaranteed to provide a spectacular look at the Boston Harbor Islands, which is one of the most scenic airport approaches in the United States.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Grand Strand Departure

Aerial views of Myrtle Beach's continuous 60-mile stretch of beach immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of New York City are visible to the west as you traverse the NJ corridor.

🌉

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge

A perspective of the massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn.

🌳

New England Interior

🌆

Downtown Boston

If landing on certain runways, the left side offers a direct view of the Prudential Center and Fenway Park.

Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunset over the mainland. It is the best side for spotting the distant NYC skyline and getting a glimpse of Boston's urban core during specific landing patterns from the west.
