Which side of the plane to sit from Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (Halifax) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged New England coastline, the Bay of Fundy, and Acadia National Park, providing more continuous visual interest compared to the open ocean.
Bay of Fundy
View the dramatic coastline famous for the highest tidal range in the world shortly after takeoff.
Acadia National Park
Visible mid-flight, featuring the granite peaks of Mount Desert Island and Cadillac Mountain.
Portland Waterfront
Clear views of Maine's largest city, including its historic Old Port and lighthouse-dotted bay.
New Hampshire Seacoast
A brief but beautiful look at Hampton Beach and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
North Shore Massachusetts
Historic coastal towns like Gloucester, Rockport, and the famous 'Witch City' of Salem.
Sit on the right for the best geographical landmarks. To see Acadia National Park, look out about 25-30 minutes into the flight. For the best photography, aim for a seat in front of or well behind the wing to capture the jagged Maine coastline. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the land-based scenery.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the North Atlantic Ocean as the flight crosses the Gulf of Maine.
Boston Harbor Islands
A collection of 34 islands and peninsulas scattered in the approach to Logan Airport.
Cape Cod
On a clear day, the distinctive hook-shaped peninsula is visible in the distance to the south.
Boston Skyline
Stunning views of the Financial District and Back Bay during the final descent into BOS.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for viewing the Boston skyline if the aircraft approaches from the north and lands on Runway 22L. During late afternoon, look for the 'glint' of the sun reflecting off the Atlantic waves.
