AUA → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Beatrix International Airport (Oranjestad) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer beautiful Caribbean views, the Right Side is superior for its stunning perspective of the Turks and Caicos reefs and the iconic approach over Cape Cod and the Boston Harbor Islands.
Arikok National Park
The rugged, desert-like eastern coast of Aruba and the crashing waves of the Atlantic.
Turks and Caicos Banks
Vivid turquoise waters and coral formations of the Caicos Bank visible from high altitude.
Bermuda Triangle
Deep Atlantic views where the Gulf Stream often creates dramatic cloud formations.
Cape Cod & Islands
A perfect view of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the distinctive 'hook' of Cape Cod.
Boston Harbor Islands
Low-altitude views of historic lighthouses and islands like Georges and Spectacle just before touchdown.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun illuminate the Caribbean reefs. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the iconic hook of Cape Cod and the Boston harbor.
Aruba Hotel Zone
Aerial views of Eagle Beach and the high-rise hotel district shortly after takeoff.
Hispaniola Coast
Potential views of the western Dominican Republic and the rugged peaks of the Cordillera Central.
Mid-Atlantic Coastline
Distant views of the New Jersey shore and the Manhattan skyline as the plane nears the Northeast.
Providence Skyline
Clear views of Narragansett Bay and the Rhode Island state capital during the descent.
Western Boston
Views of the Charles River and Cambridge if the flight loops west for its final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the silhouette of New York City and the Long Island Sound about 40 minutes before arrival.
