Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic perspective of the New England landscape, including the heart of the Green Mountains and a coastal approach over the North Shore into Boston Harbor.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Green Mountain Spine

Aerial views of the rolling peaks of Vermont, specifically the lush forests around Mount Mansfield and Camel's Hump.

🏔️

White Mountains

On clear days, the massive Presidential Range and Mount Washington are visible in the distance across the New Hampshire border.

🚤

Lake Winnipesaukee

The largest lake in New Hampshire, dotted with hundreds of islands, provides a stunning visual midway through the flight.

⚓

Massachusetts North Shore

Descending over the historic rocky coastlines of Salem, Marblehead, and Gloucester before entering the Boston airspace.

🏙️

Boston Harbor Islands

A close-up view of the harbor islands and historic fortresses like Fort Warren during the final approach into Logan.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun and enjoy the best lighting on the New Hampshire lakes. During the final descent, look for the lighthouses dotting the Massachusetts coast. In autumn, this side offers the most vibrant foliage views of the Green Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Adirondack High Peaks

Immediate views of Mount Marcy and the wilderness of the Adirondack Park shortly after takeoff from SLK.

💧

Southern Lake Champlain

The narrowing southern tip of Lake Champlain as the flight transitions from New York into Vermont.

🏭

Merrimack Valley

The historic industrial cities of Manchester and Nashua, New Hampshire, along the winding Merrimack River.

🏛️

Boston Skyline

A direct view of the Prudential Center, Hancock Tower, and the dense urban grid of downtown Boston if landing on Runway 27.

🏟️

Cambridge and Charles River

Views of the MIT campus and the Charles River basin just moments before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a superior view of the Adirondack High Peaks immediately after departure. Keep your camera ready as you approach Boston for a potential view of Fenway Park if the flight path tracks over the city.
