Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tucson to Boston. The right side wins overall due to the dramatic Santa Catalina Mountains on departure from Tucson, and en route the right side tracks closer to the southern Rockies, the Rio Grande corridor, and the Appalachian ridgelines through Pennsylvania and New England. The Boston arrival view on the left is excellent but shorter in duration.

During takeoff from Davis Monthan Afb (DMA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Davis-Monthan typically departs northeast on runway 12/30 or uses runway 11L/29R. A northeast departure puts the Santa Catalina Mountains directly on the right side, with the Rincon Mountains also visible to the southeast. The sprawl of Tucson city grid fills the foreground below. Notable sights include: Santa Catalina Mountains (Mt. Lemmon at 9,157 ft), Rincon Mountains to the southeast, Tucson city grid and downtown, Davis-Monthan boneyard aircraft storage visible below.

Logan Airport sits on Boston Harbor, and aircraft typically approach from the southwest on runway 04L/22R or 04R/22L, or from the west on runway 09/27. A southwest approach puts Boston Harbor, the downtown skyline, and Cape Cod Bay on the left side. The Charles River and Cambridge are also visible to the left on final. Notable sights include: Boston downtown skyline and Back Bay, Boston Harbor and its islands, Charles River and Cambridge, Quincy Bay to the south.
