Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Boston to Pittsburgh (pennsylva). While left side wins at takeoff, the right seat delivers the more dramatic payoff on approach into Pittsburgh with the iconic three-river confluence and downtown triangle. The mid-flight view over the Allegheny ridges is similar on both sides, so the Pittsburgh arrival tips the balance to the right.

During takeoff from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Logan's most common departure heading is east over the harbor before turning southwest. A left seat gives you a sweeping view back over Boston Harbor, the downtown skyline, and the Charles River basin as the aircraft banks south. Right side faces open ocean with little of interest. Notable sights include: Boston Harbor islands, downtown Boston skyline, Charles River and Cambridge, Quincy Bay.

When landing at Pittsburgh International (PIT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Pittsburgh International sits west of the city, and aircraft typically approach from the east on runway 28 heading. A right seat on approach gives you the Ohio River confluence, the Point, and the downtown Pittsburgh triangle as you descend. Left side faces suburban sprawl to the south. Notable sights include: Downtown Pittsburgh Golden Triangle, Ohio River and Monongahela-Allegheny confluence, Allegheny River valley, Pittsburgh's North Shore.

The flight from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) to Pittsburgh International (PIT) takes Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The flight crosses the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, then the Hudson Valley near Albany, followed by the rolling ridges of the Catskill Mountains and the folded Appalachian ridges of central Pennsylvania — the Valley and Ridge province — before descending into the Pittsburgh basin. The Susquehanna River is visible crossing the route in central Pennsylvania.
