Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers the best chance to see the iconic Boston skyline and the expansive Quabbin Reservoir, providing a perfect mix of inland nature and urban sprawl.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Quabbin Reservoir

A massive and striking man-made reservoir that serves as the primary water source for Boston.

🏔️

The Berkshires

A scenic highland region known for its cultural centers and beautiful autumn foliage.

🏙️

Boston Skyline

Unmatched views of the Prudential Tower and the Financial District as the plane aligns for landing.

🚢

Boston Harbor

Detailed views of the harbor islands and the bustling port of Boston just before touchdown.

The Right Side is essential for photography enthusiasts wanting a shot of the Boston skyline. For the best experience, fly during the 'Golden Hour' before sunset to see the city lights begin to flicker on and the Quabbin reflect the orange sky.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Adirondack Wilderness

Deep views of New York's largest forest preserve visible in the distance to the north.

🌲

Green Mountains

The rolling mountain range of Vermont is often visible on the horizon during the cruise phase.

🏔️

Mount Wachusett

A prominent monadnock in central Massachusetts that stands out from the surrounding plains.

🏖️

North Shore Coastline

Glimpses of the rocky coast near Salem and Marblehead during the descent into Logan.

Select the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. On the final descent into Boston, look for the historical coastal towns of the North Shore which offer a great contrast to the inland terrain.
