Bay of Fundy
The site of the world's highest tides, visible as you cross between Nova Scotia and the New Brunswick/Maine border.
Boston & New England
A dense urban view of Boston's Logan Airport and the Charles River as you head south.
New York City Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the geometry of Central Park are visible from high altitude.
D.C. & Chesapeake Bay
The massive Chesapeake Bay watershed and the sprawling suburban landscape surrounding the U.S. capital.
Appalachian Foothills
Distantly visible rolling green ridges of the Piedmont region through Virginia and the Carolinas.
Florida Lake District
Thousands of small, circular freshwater lakes that characterize the approach into Orlando.
The right side is unbeatable for night flights to see the 'Megalopolis' lights stretching from Boston to Washington. In the autumn, this side offers views of the changing fall foliage over New England. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of the NYC skyline isn't obstructed by the engine or wing surface.

Nova Scotia South Shore
View the rugged, jagged coastline of Nova Scotia's southern tip immediately after departure from YHZ.
Cape Cod & Islands
The iconic hook-shaped peninsula of Massachusetts and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Long Island Beaches
Extensive stretches of white sand beaches along the Hamptons and Fire Island.
The Outer Banks
The thin ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, separating the Atlantic from the Pamlico Sound.
Kennedy Space Center
On the descent into Orlando, look for Cape Canaveral and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also best for spotting the Space Coast launch pads during the final 20 minutes of the flight. Be aware that most of the mid-flight view will be open ocean if the pilot takes an offshore 'Atlantic route' to avoid corridor traffic.
