A flight that takes off from Chicago in the late afternoon, flies over the Northeast during dusk, and then reaches the Boston area at nightfall is highly recommended if you are the sort of person who gets a window seat and takes hundreds of pictures. That’s the junction of Interstates 93 and 95 to Boston’s west there, with all the shopping you could hope for on one side and all the sleepy suburban life you could run from on the other side. I grew up not far from this area — if I had been in seat 3F rather than seat 3A, I suspect I would have seen the town I grew up in — and seeing the area like this made me really happy.
