Hispaniola North Coast
Dramatic views of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains meeting the Atlantic immediately after takeoff.
Turks and Caicos
Breathtaking views of the Caicos Bank, showing vibrant turquoise waters and coral reef formations.
Outer Banks
The narrow, fragile barrier islands of North Carolina stretching hundreds of miles along the coast.
New York City Skyline
On many flight paths, the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty are visible in the distance during the northern trek.
Long Island Sound
The picturesque coastline of Connecticut and the various islands dotting the sound.
Sit on the left for the best chance of spotting land throughout the journey. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left, so keep your window shade down during the mid-flight cruise to avoid heat, but open it near North Carolina for the best coastal views. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side.

Atlantic Abyss
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Sargasso Sea and the shifting patterns of the Gulf Stream.
Cape Cod
The distinctive hooked shape of Massachusetts' famous peninsula often appears clearly during the descent into Boston.
Boston Harbor Islands
Aerial views of Spectacle Island, Long Island, and George's Island as the plane lines up for the Logan runways.
Shipping Lanes
Major maritime traffic heading toward the Port of New York and New Jersey can be spotted from high altitude.
The right side is ideal for the final five minutes of the flight. Depending on the wind direction, landing at Logan often involves a low-altitude turn over the harbor, giving right-side passengers a spectacular view of the Boston skyline and the harbor islands. If the flight is in the late afternoon, this side will be shaded and offer comfortable viewing.
