SDQ → BOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Las Américas International Airport (Santo Domingo) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (Boston)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route as it faces the US Eastern Seaboard for the latter half of the journey, offering views of the Outer Banks, the Jersey Shore, and the New York metropolitan area from a distance.

Bahamian Archipelagos
Early in the flight, catch views of the turquoise waters and small cays of the eastern Bahamas or Turks and Caicos.
The Outer Banks
As you approach the US coast, the thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands is often visible.
NYC & Long Island
Depending on the flight path, you can see the dense urban sprawl of Long Island and the Manhattan skyline in the distance.
Atlantic City
Look for the distinct cluster of high-rise casinos along the New Jersey shoreline.
Providence Skyline
Just before the descent into Boston, the city of Providence and the Narragansett Bay come into view.
To maximize views, book a morning flight to keep the sun behind the plane, reducing glare on the windows. This side is also best for seeing the sunset on late afternoon departures. Keep an eye out about 2.5 hours into the flight for the transition from deep ocean blue to the varied colors of the continental shelf.

Deep Atlantic
Expansive, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for spotting large cargo ships or cloud formations.
Martha's Vineyard
On the final approach into BOS, this side offers excellent views of the luxury island retreats off the coast of Massachusetts.
Cape Cod Peninsula
See the iconic 'arm' of Massachusetts stretching into the ocean as the plane begins its final turn towards Logan.
Boston Harbor Islands
During the final descent, look for the historic lighthouses and forts dotting the islands in the harbor.
Choose the right side if you are on a very early morning flight and want to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. While there is less land to see for most of the flight, the approach into Boston is often more scenic on this side as the plane frequently banks over the harbor and islands for a landing on Runway 4R or 27.
