The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Great Bahama Bank, where the ocean transforms into a mesmerizing tapestry of neon-turquoise water and shifting white sandbars.

Downtown Atlanta
Depending on the runway heading, you may get a direct view of the downtown skyscrapers and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Florida Space Coast
Distant views of the Kennedy Space Center and the distinct barrier islands of the Florida coastline near Titusville.
Great Bahama Bank
One of the most beautiful sights on Earth, featuring vast stretches of shallow, brilliant turquoise water over limestone sand.
Exuma Cays Chain
The iconic 'string of pearls' featuring hundreds of tiny cays and the famous swirling sandbars near Staniel Cay.
GGT Final Approach
Stunning low-altitude views of the crystal-clear sapphire waters surrounding Stocking Island and Great Exuma just before touchdown.
The right side is the premium choice for this route. To maximize the experience, book a seat mid-day when the sun is overhead to illuminate the sandbars. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 10-20 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the vibrant water colors. Polarized sunglasses will significantly enhance the turquoise hues through the plane window.

Expansive views of the Georgia Piedmont region and suburban sprawl during the initial climb out of Hartsfield-Jackson.
Savannah River Delta
Look for the complex network of tidal creeks and marshlands where the Savannah River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The Out Islands
High-altitude views of the Abaco Islands and the slender, winding silhouette of Eleuthera to the east.
The Continental Shelf
A stark visual boundary where the light coastal waters drop off into the deep indigo abyss of the Atlantic Ocean.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. While this side sees more 'deep water,' it provides a great perspective of the eastern edge of the archipelago and the dramatic Exuma Sound. Keep your camera ready as you pass Eleuthera for glimpses of its unique narrow landmass.
