PIT → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Pittsburgh International Airport (Pittsburgh) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route because it offers distant views of the New York City skyline and a spectacular, close-up view of the Boston skyline and harbor during the final approach into Logan Airport.

Pittsburgh Skyline
A great view of 'The Point' and the downtown bridges immediately after departing PIT.
NYC Skyline
On clear days, the Manhattan skyline is often visible to the south when flying over Connecticut.
Long Island Sound
Expansive views of the coastline, beaches, and the water separating CT from Long Island.
Downtown Boston
A stunning, low-altitude view of the Prudential Tower, Hancock Tower, and Fenway Park on final descent.
Boston Harbor
Panoramic views of the historic harbor islands just before the wheels touch the tarmac.
Choose the right side for the 'money shot' of Boston's skyscrapers. For the best view of NYC in the distance, look out about 45-50 minutes into the flight. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure your view of the harbor islands isn't blocked during the steep descent.

Appalachian Ridges
Aerial views of the distinct 'fold-and-thrust' belt of the central Pennsylvania mountains.
Pocono Mountains
Dense forest cover and vacation lakes visible as you cross Eastern Pennsylvania into New Jersey.
Narragansett Bay
Clear views of the islands and bridges around Newport and Jamestown, Rhode Island.
North Shore Coastline
Views of historic Salem and Marblehead if the flight loops north for a harbor approach.
Sit on the left for early morning departures to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic. This side is also better for viewing the rugged interior terrain of Pennsylvania and the southern Catskills in the distance.
