Which side of the plane to sit from Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport (Toronto) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side offers a stunning departure from Toronto, the right side provides a superior view of the Finger Lakes region and a more iconic perspective of the Boston skyline and Charles River during the final approach into Logan International.
Finger Lakes
The long, narrow glacial lakes of Central New York are clearly visible during the cruise phase.
Catskill Mountains
The rolling, forested peaks of the Catskills appear to the south as you transition into New England.
Quabbin Reservoir
A massive, pristine man-made wilderness water body located in central Massachusetts.
Fenway Park
The historic home of the Red Sox can often be spotted during the westward approach into Logan.
Downtown Boston
Breathtaking views of the Prudential Tower, Hancock Tower, and the Custom House as you bank over the city.
The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival into Boston. For the most common landing patterns on Runways 22L or 27, the right side offers a direct view of the Back Bay and Financial District. In winter, the frozen Finger Lakes create a stunning geometric pattern across the New York landscape.
Toronto Skyline
Unparalleled views of the CN Tower and Rogers Centre immediately after takeoff from the island airport.
Scarborough Bluffs
Dramatic white cliffs stretching along the eastern shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Adirondack Mountains
The rugged High Peaks region of New York is visible to the north during the mid-flight cruise.
Massachusetts North Shore
The historic coastline including Salem and Marblehead appears during the descent into Boston.
Logan Approach
Views of the Mystic River and the northern harbor islands just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and capture the best lighting of the Toronto skyline. This side is also preferred if the flight path tracks closer to the northern shore of Lake Ontario, providing detailed views of the Canadian shoreline.
