Exquisite views of the Maine mid-coast, including Vinalhaven and North Haven islands nestled in deep blue waters.

Clear sightlines of the 'Calendar Islands' and the bustling waterfront of Portland, Maine's largest city.

The most photographed lighthouse in America is often visible on the rocky shores of Cape Elizabeth.
Seacoast Beaches

Boston Harbor Islands

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Atlantic. During the winter, the contrast between the snow-covered coastline and the dark ocean is particularly striking. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for the best downward views of the lighthouses.
