Monastir to Boston is 4,238 miles (6,820 km), a flight of about 9 hours 30 minutes.
While takeoff offers Mediterranean views, the landing approach into Boston provides more dramatic and varied scenery with the Atlantic coastline, Cape Cod, and the approach over Massachusetts Bay. Left-side seats capture the most visually interesting portion of the arrival sequence.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 7-8 hours with minimal visible landmarks. Notable features along the route include: the Iberian Peninsula and Portuguese coast (if visible during early climb), the Atlantic Ocean with occasional ship traffic, Greenland's southern tip and Davis Strait region (far north on the great circle route), and the Canadian Maritime provinces and Nova Scotia appearing as the aircraft approaches North America. Most of the transatlantic portion offers only open ocean, cloud formations, and occasionally the curvature of the Earth at cruise altitude.
