BOS → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this transatlantic hop, offering a better perspective of the New England coastline on departure, the best chance to see the Northern Lights during the dark crossing, and the potential for rugged Irish coastal views upon arrival.

Boston Skyline
Spectacular views of downtown Boston and the Bunker Hill Bridge immediately after takeoff from Logan Airport.
Nova Scotia Coastline
Clear views of the jagged rocky shores and lighthouses of the Canadian Maritimes as the flight heads northeast.
Aurora Borealis
On winter night flights, this north-facing side provides the best opportunity to witness the Northern Lights over the Atlantic.
Donegal & Sligo
The first sightings of the 'Emerald Isle' often feature the rugged cliffs and lush green hills of Northwest Ireland.
North Dublin Suburbs
Detailed views of Malahide, Portmarnock, and the northern coastline during the final descent into DUB.
The BOS-DUB route is a relatively short red-eye. To maximize views, choose a seat behind the wing to see both the ground and the sky. If you are flying between October and March, keep your window shade slightly open and eyes peeled for the Aurora Borealis during the mid-flight cruise. Upon arrival in Dublin (usually early morning), the low sun angle illuminates the green fields beautifully.

Cape Cod & Islands
Views of the distinctive 'hook' of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket depending on the specific departure corridor.
Atlantic Sunrise
As a west-to-east flight, the right side gets the first light of dawn, offering a brilliant sunrise over the clouds.
Wicklow Mountains
On the southern approach to Dublin, look for the granite peaks and rolling heather-covered hills of the Garden of Ireland.
Dublin Bay
A panoramic view of the horseshoe-shaped Dublin Bay, including the Poolbeg Chimneys and Dún Laoghaire harbor.
Dublin City Center
If landing on Runway 28L, the right side offers a sweeping view of the city center and the River Liffey.
The right side is the 'sunny side' for the morning arrival, which can be bright; bring sunglasses for the descent. While the left side is better for the Aurora, the right side is better for seeing the sunrise. If the wind is coming from the West, you will likely loop around Dublin Bay for landing, providing the right side with excellent views of the Irish Sea and the city's south side.
