Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Atlantic coastline and the initial transition into the shallow, colorful Bahamian reefs.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

Immediate views of the city center and Mercedes-Benz Stadium if departing south from ATL.

🏖️

Florida Coastline

Beautiful aerial perspective of the St. Johns River and the Jacksonville beachfront.

🏰

Historic St. Augustine

Spot the oldest city in the US and the star-shaped Castillo de San Marcos along the shore.

🌊

Abaco Islands

The first dramatic sight of the striking turquoise waters and coral reefs of the northern Bahamas.

🐠

Berry Islands

Clusters of small, uninhabited cays and white sand bars during the final approach.

Book the left side for morning flights to enjoy the best illumination of the ocean floor and reefs. If the wind is from the west, you may also get a perfect view of the cruise ship terminal in Nassau upon landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🐊

Okefenokee Swamp

Massive, dark-water wetland area visible near the Georgia-Florida border during the first half of the flight.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Distant views of NASA launch sites and the massive VAB building if the flight path hugs the Florida coast.

🇧🇸

Andros Island

The largest Bahamian island, featuring a labyrinth of mangroves and complex tidal creeks.

🕳️

Tongue of the Ocean

A dramatic 6,000-foot deep underwater canyon where water color shifts abruptly from light teal to dark navy.

🌴

New Providence West

Views of the western resorts and the lush greenery of the main island just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. Keep a sharp eye out for the 'Tongue of the Ocean' just before landing, which is one of the most distinct geological color shifts visible from the air.
