Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Boston. The right side wins overall because the Las Vegas departure view is genuinely spectacular and hard to beat, and across the mid-flight the right side tracks closer to the southern Rockies and the Mississippi River valley. The Boston arrival on the left is excellent but shorter in duration than the extended desert and mountain scenery on the right during the first half of the flight.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Las Vegas departures on runway 26L/26R head west-northwest, putting the Las Vegas Strip and downtown directly on the right side as the aircraft banks northeast. You get a clear look at the grid of the city and the Mojave Desert spreading out to the south. Notable sights include: The Las Vegas Strip (visible as a dense cluster of large hotel towers), Hoover Dam and Lake Mead to the southeast, Red Rock Canyon escarpment to the west, Frenchman Mountain to the east.

When landing at General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Logan Airport sits on a peninsula in Boston Harbor, and most arrivals from the west use runway 04R/04L or 33L, approaching over the city. A left window seat gives you the Boston skyline, the Charles River, and the harbor islands as you descend over the metro area. Notable sights include: Boston downtown skyline (Back Bay and Financial District towers), Charles River and its basin, Boston Harbor and the Harbor Islands, Cambridge and MIT campus along the river.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over the Colorado Plateau and Four Corners region, then across the southern Rockies near Colorado, continuing over the Great Plains of Kansas and Missouri, crossing the Mississippi River near St. Louis, then over Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into New England. Notable features include the Colorado River canyon systems, the Rockies near Denver visible to the north, the flat agricultural grid of the Midwest, and the Appalachian ridgelines of Pennsylvania and New York visible as parallel northeast-southwest folds before descending into Boston.
