Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Doha to Boston. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. Over the Gulf and Middle East you get the Qatar coastline and Arabian Gulf; over the Atlantic the left side picks up Greenland's ice sheet and southeastern Canadian coastline before delivering the Boston Harbor approach. The right side is mostly open ocean and desert interior throughout.

During takeoff from Doha International (DOH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departures from DOH typically use runway 16/34 or 15/33. Heading north or northwest on departure, the left side gives you a clear view over Doha city center, the West Bay skyline, and the full sweep of the Qatar peninsula jutting into the Arabian Gulf. The right side faces inland toward the flat desert interior with little of interest. Notable sights include: West Bay skyscrapers cluster, Doha Corniche waterfront arc, Qatar peninsula coastline, shallow turquoise waters of the inner Gulf.

Logan Airport sits on a peninsula in Boston Harbor, and most arrivals from the east or northeast use runways 04L/04R or 09, approaching over the harbor. The left side on approach gives you Boston Harbor islands, the downtown Boston skyline including the Financial District and Back Bay, and the Charles River basin. The right side faces south toward Quincy and the South Shore with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Boston Harbor islands, downtown Boston Financial District skyline, Charles River basin and Cambridge, Boston Inner Harbor.

Depending on the polar routing, the southern tip of Greenland or the Labrador coast of Canada may be visible before descending toward New England. The Black Sea and potentially the Alps are visible in the early portion of the flight on the left side.
