YULBOS

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the downtown skylines of both Montreal at departure and Boston on arrival, plus a stunning perspective of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Downtown Montreal

Unmatched views of Mount Royal, the Olympic Stadium, and the downtown skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from YUL.

🌅

Lake Champlain

A long, beautiful stretch of water separating Vermont and New York, with the Adirondack Mountains visible in the distance.

🌲

Green Mountains

The rolling, densely forested peaks of Vermont passing directly underneath the aircraft.

🏢

Boston Skyline

On many approach patterns, the right side gets a perfect 'postcard' view of the Prudential Tower and the Back Bay area.

🏟️

Fenway Park

If landing on certain runways, look for the iconic 'Green Monster' as the plane enters the final descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. It is the best choice for urban enthusiasts, providing the most reliable views of the Boston city center during the landing sequence. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the Massachusetts border for the rapid transition from rural Vermont to the dense Boston suburbs.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

St. Lawrence River

Clear views of the massive river and the islands of the Hochelaga Archipelago during the initial climb.

🏔️

White Mountains

Views of New Hampshire's rugged peaks, including the prominent Mount Washington on clear days.

🛶

Lake Winnipesaukee

New Hampshire's largest lake with its intricate network of islands and deep blue waters.

🏖️

Massachusetts North Shore

The rocky Atlantic coastline and historic coastal towns like Salem and Gloucester as the plane descends.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the winter, the snow-capped White Mountains provide a dramatic contrast to the landscape. If the plane approaches Logan from the east over the ocean, the left side offers a great view of the harbor islands.
