Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior departure experience with iconic views of the Boston skyline and the sweeping hook of Cape Cod, followed by a panoramic perspective of the Dominican Republic's lush interior upon arrival.
Boston Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Financial District, Back Bay, and the Charles River shortly after lifting off from Logan.
Cape Cod & Islands
Clear views of the distinctive 'arm' of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket as the plane heads south.
Cordillera Oriental
The rolling green mountains and tropical valleys of the Dominican Republic's eastern range during the inland descent.
Higuey Countryside
View of the rural landscape and agricultural fields surrounding the city of Higuey before reaching the airport.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the departure; request a window seat here to see the Prudential Center and Fenway Park. On arrival, this side provides a better view of the island's topography and the rural lifestyle of the Altagracia province. Avoid the wing area (rows 12-22 on most A321/B737s) for unobstructed ground views.
Boston Harbor Islands
Aerial view of the historic forts and lighthouses scattered throughout the harbor immediately after takeoff.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight path moves offshore toward the Caribbean.
Bavaro Beach Reefs
Stunning transition from dark ocean water to bright turquoise lagoons and coral barriers during the final descent.
Punta Cana Resorts
A bird's-eye view of the expansive luxury resort complexes lining the white sands of the eastern coast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; as the plane banks for its final approach, the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow turquoise reefs is breathtaking.
