Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, featuring the Outer Banks, the New Jersey coastline, and the iconic New York City skyline during the descent toward Boston.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Great Bahama Bank

Stunning views of the shallow, electric-blue waters and underwater sand dunes immediately after takeoff from Nassau.

🌊

Outer Banks

The thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands, including Cape Hatteras, visible as the flight tracks north.

🗽

NYC Skyline

On clear days, catch a glimpse of Manhattan's skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty as the plane traverses the NJ/NY corridor.

🏘️

Connecticut Coastline

Aerial perspectives of the Long Island Sound and the densely populated Gold Coast of New England.

🛬

Boston Back Bay

Views of the Charles River and the Prudential Center depending on the specific approach pattern into Logan.

Sit on the left for the best coastal landmarks. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be in the west, illuminating the coastline without glare. During the final 30 minutes, stay alert for the high-rise clusters of Northern New Jersey and Manhattan.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Abaco Islands

Exquisite views of the northernmost Bahamian cays and coral reefs shortly after departure.

🚢

Gulf Stream

Notice the deep indigo transition of the Atlantic Ocean where the warm current flows north.

🐚

Cape Cod

The distinct 'arm' of Massachusetts is clearly visible on the right during the descent into Boston.

🏘️

Martha's Vineyard

The famous summer island and its surrounding smaller islets can be seen just south of the Cape.

🗼

Boston Harbor Islands

A bird's-eye view of the historic forts and lighthouses scattered throughout the harbor just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for the most vibrant turquoise water views in the first 20 minutes of flight. This side is also best for seeing the unique geography of Cape Cod and the islands during the arrival phase. Keep your camera ready for the Harbor Islands near landing.
