Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic 'Wall' in Turks and Caicos on departure and the iconic hook of Cape Cod and the Boston Harbor Islands on arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

The Deep Blue Drop-off

Watch the vibrant turquoise of the Caicos Bank turn to a deep ink-blue as the plane crosses the underwater shelf into the Atlantic.

🐚

Cape Cod & Islands

Unrivaled views of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the distinctive curved 'arm' of the Cape Cod peninsula.

🗼

Boston Harbor Islands

A close-up view of the historic lighthouses and green islands dotting the harbor just seconds before landing.

🚢

Shipping Lanes

Vantage point for large cargo ships and tankers entering the Port of Boston from the open Atlantic.

The right side is essential for seeing the classic 'hook' of Cape Cod. For the best lighting, choose the right side on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the Western sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the descent passes directly over the Massachusetts islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Grace Bay

Aerial view of Providenciales' world-renowned turquoise waters and white sand beaches immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

NYC Skyline

On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Manhattan can be seen as the flight passes the New Jersey and Long Island coasts.

🏢

Downtown Boston

Views of the Prudential Tower, Hancock Building, and the Charles River as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.

Sit on the left for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. This side is also better for spotting the US mainland coastline as you approach New England. If the wind is coming from the West, you may get a direct view of the Fenway Park area during the final bank into Logan.
