SEA → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Seattle Tacoma International Airport (Seattle) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable view of Mount Rainier shortly after takeoff and the potential for a stunning aerial perspective of Niagara Falls and the Boston skyline upon arrival.
Mount Rainier
An iconic, close-up view of Washington's highest peak immediately following takeoff from SEA.
The Badlands
Striking sedimentary rock formations and eroded buttes across South Dakota.
Niagara Falls
Visible as a misty plume and distinct horseshoe shape when flying over the Ontario-New York border.
Finger Lakes
The distinct, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York stretching north to south.
Boston Skyline
Dramatic views of the Prudential Center, Fenway Park, and the harbor during the final approach.
The right side is premier for landmarks. Ensure your window is clear for Mount Rainier within the first 10 minutes. Watch for Niagara Falls about 45-60 minutes before landing. On clear days, the sunset over the wing is spectacular during late afternoon eastbound flights.
North Cascades
Jagged, snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys visible shortly after departing Seattle.
Glacier National Park
Dramatic Montana wilderness and alpine lakes located along the northern flight corridor.
Lake Superior
The massive, deep blue expanse of the largest Great Lake as you cross into the Midwest.
Green Mountains
The rolling, forested ridges of Vermont visible during the descent into the New England area.
Sit on the left for better views of the rugged northern border states and the vastness of Lake Superior. In winter, this side offers stunning views of frozen lake shores. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, reducing glare for photography.
