ASUMIA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the winding Amazonian river systems and the spectacular transition from the Caribbean Sea to the Florida coastline, including the turquoise waters of the Bahamas.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐍

Amazon Basin

Witness the incredible scale of the rainforest and the serpentine curves of the Amazon tributaries.

🏝️

Caribbean Archipelago

Stunning views of the Greater Antilles and the vibrant shallow reefs around the Bahamas chain.

🏙️

Miami Beach & Coastline

The best side for seeing the iconic South Beach high-rises and the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

🚢

Port of Miami

Catch a glimpse of the 'Cruise Capital of the World' and the busy shipping lanes of Biscayne Bay.

The right side is the winner for daytime flights to capture the transition from deep forest green to Caribbean turquoise. For the best landing views, note that MIA often lands toward the East; if so, the right side sees the city skyline and beaches. Afternoon flights on this side avoid the harshest direct sun glare.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌿

Gran Chaco

View the vast, sparsely populated alluvial plains of Western Paraguay shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Andean Fringe

On clear days, the distant peaks of the Bolivian Andes may be visible on the far western horizon.

🐊

The Everglades

As you descend into Miami, look for the unique sawgrass prairies and wetlands of South Florida.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

Ideal positioning for dramatic colors if the flight coincides with the late afternoon or evening hours.

Choose the left side for sunset views on afternoon departures. During the approach into MIA from the north, this side often provides a view of the sprawling suburban landscape and the edges of the Everglades National Park.
