Boston to Tel Aviv: sit on the right, 423 min after takeoff.
Which side, by route
| Route | Side | When |
|---|---|---|
| Boston to Tel Aviv | Right | 423 min after takeoff |
| Philadelphia to Doha | Right (the left side is better for the whole flight) | 474 min after takeoff |
| Washington to Athens | Right | 486 min after takeoff |
From the real paths of every nonstop on these routes in the last 10 days, at the usual time of day. Where the best seat for the whole flight is on the other side, you'd trade this sight for more elsewhere.
