PWM (Portland) landing window seat guide

When landing at Portland International Jetport (PWM), sit on the Right side for the best views. Runway 29 (the primary landing runway) has a westbound heading, meaning final approach comes from the east over Casco Bay. Right-side seats offer direct views of the bay, islands, and the coastal approach path. Left seats face inland toward forested terrain with less distinctive visual interest during descent. Notable sights include: Casco Bay with its scattered islands (especially Peaks Island and Diamond Island in the middle distance), the Atlantic coastline to the southeast, Fore River estuary to the south, and the densely forested inland terrain of southern Maine to the north and west.
