RSWBOS

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic coastline, the Outer Banks, and a stunning approach over the Boston Harbor islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

The Outer Banks

The unique, thin strip of barrier islands stretching along the North Carolina coast.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

Massive estuary with intricate shorelines and bridge-tunnel complexes visible from high altitude.

🏖️

Long Island South Shore

Famous beaches like Jones Beach and the Hamptons visible before turning toward Boston.

🚢

Boston Harbor Islands

A spectacular view of the historic forts and islands during the final approach into Logan Airport.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean throughout the majority of the cruise phase.

The right side is superior for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready for the 'harbor approach' into BOS, which is one of the most scenic landings in the United States. In autumn, the coastal foliage transition is particularly vivid from this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Lake Okeechobee

Massive freshwater lake visible shortly after departure from Fort Myers.

🏙️

East Coast Megalopolis

Distant views of major cities like Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia as you fly north.

🍎

Manhattan Skyline

On clear days, the iconic New York City skyline can be seen to the west when crossing New Jersey.

🌳

New England Forests

Dense, rolling green landscapes as the plane begins its descent into the Massachusetts area.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the dense urban corridor and potential views of the Hudson River valley during the final hour.
