How to pick your seat

Three rules for BOSLGA.

  1. 01

    Know the aircraft, then pick

    The best seat on a 767 is a wreck on a 737. Boston to New York LaGuardia can fly on a few different types — open the seat map for the exact one you’re on.

  2. 02

    Skip the windowless rows

    A handful of seats sold as windows are just a wall. Delta and United are being sued over it. We’ve listed every one we’ve found.

  3. 03

    Watch for the swap

    Airlines change aircraft all the time. The 1A you picked on a 767 ends up a middle on the 737 they swap in. We catch it the moment it happens.

Common questions

Which side of the plane has the best view from Boston to New York LaGuardia?
Then the left on descent for Manhattan skyline (left for the pattern).
What aircraft fly BOS to LGA?
Usually narrow-bodies (737, A320, A321) for shorter routes and wide-bodies (757, 767, A330) for longer ones. The exact aircraft depends on the carrier and time of day. Open your specific flight in the seat map to see what's scheduled and whether it's been swapped.
What are the best seats on BOS to LGA?
It depends on the aircraft, not the route. A 1A on a 767 is a lie-flat suite. A 1A on a 737 is a bulkhead with no foot rest. Open the specific aircraft and look at the green-coded seats — bulkheads, exit rows with extra legroom, seats away from the lavs.
Are there windowless 'window' seats on this route?
Sometimes, depending on the aircraft. A handful of 'window' seats on Delta and United jets are actually a wall — both airlines are being sued over it. We list every one we've found.
Will my aircraft change before I fly BOS to LGA?
It might. Airlines swap aircraft regularly, and that can wreck your seat. SeatWise Pro emails you the moment yours swaps so you can re-pick before anyone else notices.
