PBG → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Plattsburgh International Airport (Plattsburgh) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the New England wilderness, the right side is preferred for its immediate view of the Adirondack High Peaks upon departure and the iconic Boston skyline on final approach into Logan.
Adirondack High Peaks
Spectacular views of New York's highest mountains, including Mount Marcy, visible shortly after takeoff.
Lake George
The 'Queen of American Lakes' often appears as a long, narrow sliver of blue to the southwest.
Connecticut River Valley
Follow the winding path of the border between Vermont and New Hampshire as the flight moves south.
Boston Skyline
Unmatched views of the Prudential Center, Hancock Tower, and the Fenway area during the standard approach.
TD Garden & Charles River
Look down to see the mouth of the Charles River and the North End just moments before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money' side for the Boston skyline. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. During fall (late September to mid-October), this side provides incredible views of the Adirondack foliage. On arrival, if the plane lands on Runway 27, you will get a perfect, close-up view of downtown Boston.
Lake Champlain
Expansive views of the sixth largest lake in the US immediately after takeoff from PBG.
The Green Mountains
Clear views of Vermont's primary mountain range, including Mount Mansfield and Camel's Hump.
White Mountains
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of New Hampshire, including Mount Washington, are visible to the east.
Massachusetts North Shore
As the plane turns toward Boston, view the rugged coastline of Gloucester, Marblehead, and Salem.
Boston Harbor Islands
Aerial perspective of the historic lighthouse-dotted islands during the final descent into Logan.
Sit on the left if you want to see the sunrise over the Green Mountains during early morning flights. This side is also excellent for spotting the historic towns along the Massachusetts coast during the 'North Sea' approach. Keep an eye out for the distinctive profile of Mount Mansfield shortly after crossing the lake.
