Which side of the plane to sit from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston) to Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan)?

Search flights from BOS to SJU
Boston Skyline
Stunning views of the Financial District and the Charles River immediately following takeoff.
Jersey Shore
Long stretches of sandy beaches and coastal towns as the flight heads south.
The Outer Banks
The narrow barrier islands of North Carolina visible as thin ribbons of sand in the sea.
Old San Juan
The iconic El Morro and San Cristobal fortresses are usually visible on the final approach.
San Juan Harbor
Aerial views of the busy cruise port and the historic district's colorful rooftops.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of El Morro during the SJU landing sequence. Watch for the US East Coast coastline for the first 45 minutes of the flight.

Cape Cod Hook
The unique geographic curl of Provincetown is often visible shortly after takeoff from Logan.
Oceanic Sunrise
On early morning flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to the sun rising over the Atlantic.
Deep Atlantic Blues
Vast stretches of the open ocean showing the deep blue transition of the continental shelf.
North Shore Reefs
Approaching SJU, the left side sees the crashing waves against the coral reefs of the northern coast.
Sit here if you are taking a pre-dawn flight to enjoy the sunrise over the water. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes to capture the distinct shape of Cape Cod. During the descent, look for the change in water color from navy to turquoise as you approach the Puerto Rican shelf.
