Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Pittsburgh (pennsylva) to Boston. Left side wins both ends of this flight. You get the Pittsburgh three-river confluence on departure and the Boston Harbor and downtown skyline on approach. The mid-flight portion over Pennsylvania and Massachusetts offers rolling terrain but no single dominant feature, so the departure and arrival views are the highlights.

During takeoff from Pittsburgh International (PIT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Pittsburgh typically uses runways oriented toward the west or northwest, meaning a left-side seat gives you the view back over the city as you climb out. You'll see the downtown Golden Triangle where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River, one of the most distinctive urban confluences in the US. Notable sights include: Pittsburgh Golden Triangle (three-river confluence), Point State Park, the Allegheny River valley, and the rolling Allegheny Plateau ridgelines to the east.

When landing at General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Logan Airport sits on a peninsula in Boston Harbor, and most arrivals from the west approach over the city before turning to land on runways 04L/04R or 33L/33R. A left-side seat gives you the best view of downtown Boston, the Charles River, and Boston Harbor as you descend over the metro area. Notable sights include: Downtown Boston skyline, Boston Harbor and its islands, the Charles River separating Boston from Cambridge, and the Bunker Hill/Charlestown waterfront.

The flight from Pittsburgh International (PIT) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) takes Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over the Allegheny Plateau in central Pennsylvania, crossing the Susquehanna River valley near Harrisburg, then over the Pocono Mountains and Delaware Water Gap region, before entering the Connecticut River valley in Massachusetts and descending toward the Boston coast. The Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts are visible from both sides during descent.
