Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Minneapolis to Boston. The left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over upstate New York and New England, the left side also faces slightly more toward the Adirondacks and Green Mountains of Vermont, which appear as rolling dark ridgelines on the horizon, while the right side faces toward the flatter terrain of southern New York and Connecticut.

During takeoff from Minneapolis St Paul International (MSP), sit on the Left side for the best views. MSP typically departs east on runway 12R/12L or northeast on 17, meaning a left-side seat looks north and northwest over the Minneapolis city core, the Mississippi River gorge, and the chain of lakes. You get a clear view of downtown Minneapolis skyline as the aircraft banks eastward. Notable sights include: Downtown Minneapolis skyline, Mississippi River gorge, Chain of Lakes (Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska, Harriet, Nokomis), Fort Snelling confluence where Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers meet.

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 22L approaches. A left-side seat on approach from the west gives you the Boston skyline, the Charles River, and Boston Harbor islands as the aircraft descends over the city. The right side faces south toward the open Atlantic. Notable sights include: Boston skyline and Back Bay, Charles River and Cambridge, Boston Harbor and its islands, Cape Cod visible on the southern horizon on clear days.

The flight from Minneapolis St Paul International (MSP) to General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) takes Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes.

The flight tracks roughly east-southeast over Wisconsin lake country, then across Lake Michigan's northern reaches or southern shore depending on routing, over lower Michigan or northern Indiana, across Lake Erie or northern Ohio, then over upstate New York where the Finger Lakes appear as long parallel slivers, the Adirondack plateau visible to the north, then into New England over the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Connecticut River valley before descending into Boston
