The Gateway Arch
An iconic view of the 630-foot stainless steel monument and the St. Louis downtown riverfront immediately after rotation.
Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle
A clear view of the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers in the heart of the city.
Appalachian Ridges
Spectacular views of the parallel mountain folds and deep valleys through central Pennsylvania.
Hudson River Valley
A scenic crossing of the historic Hudson River north of New York City during the transition into New England airspace.
Boston Harbor & Skyline
The primary view for the Prudential Tower, Hancock Building, and the harbor islands when landing on Runways 22L or 27.
The right side is essential for the best view of the Gateway Arch; however, visibility depends on the departure runway direction. For the arrival into Boston, the right side usually provides the most dramatic views of the financial district and the historic waterfront. Use a polarizing filter if flying during the day to cut through the haze over the Appalachian mountains.

Missouri-Mississippi Confluence
The meeting point of North America's two longest rivers is clearly visible north of St. Louis shortly after takeoff.
Midwestern Heartland
Expansive views of the geometric agricultural patterns across Illinois and Indiana.
Finger Lakes Region
Glacial lake formations in Upstate New York are visible as the flight transitions toward New England.
The Berkshires
Rolling green hills and dense forests of western Massachusetts during the initial descent phase.
Cambridge & Charles River
Aerial views of Harvard, MIT, and the rowing shells on the Charles River as you approach Logan.
Sit on the left if flying in the autumn to witness the vibrant fall colors of the Berkshires. On morning flights, this side avoids the direct southern sun, providing better conditions for photography of the river confluences and the Finger Lakes.
