Old San Juan
Aerial views of the historic El Morro fortress and the colorful colonial buildings of the old city upon takeoff.
Outer Banks
On clear days, see the thin, sandy ribbons of the North Carolina barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Atlantic City
Spot the high-rise casinos and the iconic boardwalk along the New Jersey coastline during the descent.
Manhattan Distance View
In high-visibility conditions, the New York City skyline can often be spotted on the western horizon.
Boston Skyline
Incredible views of the Financial District, Back Bay, and the Charles River when landing on runways 4L or 4R.
For the best departure photos, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the San Juan coastline. Afternoon flights on this side will face the sun, so morning flights are better for photography to avoid glare. Watch closely during the last 20 minutes for the Jersey Shore and the Manhattan skyline.

Atlantic Transition
Watch the vibrant turquoise waters of the Caribbean blend into the deep sapphire blue of the North Atlantic.
Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard
Excellent views of these famous islands and their distinct coastal shapes as the flight crosses into New England.
Cape Cod
The 'hook' of Massachusetts is clearly visible, including the sand dunes of Provincetown and the National Seashore.
Boston Harbor Islands
A bird's eye view of the historic forts, lighthouses, and emerald islands scattered throughout Boston Harbor.
The right side is ideal for seeing the New England islands. If the flight takes a more easterly route, you'll have an unobstructed view of Cape Cod. Sit on this side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you, providing perfectly lit views of the Massachusetts coast and the harbor islands.
