DUB → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is typically superior for this route as it offers the highest probability of viewing the majestic glaciers of Southern Greenland and the rugged, indented coastlines of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia during the westbound crossing.

Southern Greenland
On many North Atlantic tracks, you can see the jagged black peaks and massive white ice sheets of the Greenland coast.
Newfoundland Coast
The rocky, fjord-like inlets and remote wilderness of Eastern Canada as the flight enters North American airspace.
Nova Scotia
Dense pine forests and the winding coastline of the Maritimes, often featuring small fishing villages along the shore.
Boston Skyline
If landing on Runway 22L or 27, this side offers a spectacular view of the Financial District and the Back Bay skyscrapers.
This is the 'geography' side. For the best chance to see Greenland, check your flight path on a tracker before boarding; if the route is northern, the right side is a must. Be aware that winter flights may have limited visibility due to early darkness, so morning departures are best for this side.

West Coast of Ireland
Aerial views of the Wild Atlantic Way, featuring the rugged cliffs and islands of County Galway and Mayo shortly after departure.
The North Atlantic
Expansive views of the ocean where you can often spot the wake of massive container ships or intricate cloud patterns caused by the Gulf Stream.
Cape Cod & Islands
The iconic 'hook' of Massachusetts, including views of Provincetown and the sandy beaches of the National Seashore during the descent.
Boston Harbor Islands
A close-up view of George’s Island and the historic lighthouses dotting the harbor as the plane makes its final approach.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy a prolonged sunset over the Atlantic. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the distinct shape of Cape Cod. It is also the quieter side for sleeping as it faces away from the sun for much of the journey south of the Arctic circle.
