Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Boston to Oranjestad. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the long overwater cruise there is little to differentiate sides, but the left seat delivers the best views at both the most visually interesting moments — departure over Boston and arrival into Aruba.

During takeoff from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Logan's most common departure is runway 22L/22R heading southwest, then turning south. The left side captures Boston Harbor, the downtown skyline, and the Charles River basin as you climb out over the city. Right side faces the open Atlantic with little to see. Notable sights include: Boston Harbor islands, downtown Boston skyline (including Prudential and Hancock towers), Charles River and Cambridge, Cape Cod peninsula visible to the south as you climb.

When landing at Reina Beatrix International (AUA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Reina Beatrix's primary runway is 11/29, with most arrivals from the east on runway 29 heading west-northwest. The left side on approach gives you the best view of Oranjestad's colorful waterfront, the salt flats, and the island's distinctive arid terrain. Right side faces mostly open Caribbean. Notable sights include: Oranjestad waterfront and harbor, Aruba's salt flats (Pekelmeer) near the southern tip, the island's flat desert scrubland interior, Caribbean Sea shallows with vivid turquoise color near the coast.

The flight from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) to Reina Beatrix International (AUA) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight tracks roughly south-southeast over the open Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the route. After departing New England, the flight passes east of the Outer Banks of North Carolina at cruise altitude, then over the Bahamas archipelago (visible as scattered low sandy islands and vivid shallow-water banks around 25,000-35,000 ft), then across the eastern Caribbean. Puerto Rico and Hispaniola may be visible on the horizon to the right depending on exact routing. The final descent crosses the Venezuelan coast region and the southern Caribbean before reaching Aruba.
