BOS → CUN
Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Cancún International Airport (Cancun)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior mix of urban landmarks, the famous Florida coastline, and the lush geography of the Yucatan Peninsula upon arrival.
NYC Skyline
On clear days, the Manhattan skyline and the Freedom Tower are visible as the flight traverses the Northeast Corridor.
Kennedy Space Center
Identify the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads as you fly past Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The Everglades
Observe the vast, intricate mosaic of Florida's 'River of Grass' and the unique wetlands before crossing the Gulf.
Isla Mujeres
A beautiful bird's-eye view of this tropical island and its surrounding coral reefs just minutes before landing at CUN.
Recommended for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. This side offers more land-based landmarks, including a view of the Florida peninsula and the dense jungles of the Yucatan as you descend.
Cape Cod & Islands
Shortly after takeoff from Logan, you will see the iconic hook shape of Cape Cod along with Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Gulf Stream
Watch for the dramatic transition in water color as the aircraft passes over the warm, deep blue current of the Atlantic Ocean.
Outer Banks
A glimpse of the thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina as the flight path follows the coastline southward.
Cancun Hotel Zone
Depending on the approach pattern, this side often provides a stunning view of the turquoise lagoon and the '7' shaped hotel strip.
Best for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. This side is ideal if you prefer the calming views of the Atlantic and Caribbean horizons. On approach to Cancun, look for the reef systems visible through the clear water.
