ATL → PAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Toussaint Louverture International Airport (Port-au-prince)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the iconic Florida coastline, including Cape Canaveral and Miami, followed by the most vibrant turquoise reefs of the eastern Bahamas.
Atlanta Skyline
View of the dense downtown core and Stone Mountain shortly after takeoff from ATL.
Cape Canaveral
Look for the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the distinct shape of the Merritt Island coastline.
Miami Gold Coast
Stunning views of the skyscraper-lined beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
Exuma Sound
Incredible gradients of turquoise water and tiny cays in the central Bahamas.
Great Inagua
The southernmost Bahamian island, known for its massive white salt pans and flamingos.
Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. Look for the distinct curve of the Florida coast and the sprawling reefs of the Exumas. On final approach to PAP, this side often sees the urban sprawl of the city against the mountains.
Okefenokee Swamp
A vast, dark wilderness area spanning the Georgia-Florida border visible early in the flight.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's massive inland sea, visible as a huge blue circular feature in the center of the state.
Andros Barrier Reef
The third-largest barrier reef in the world off the coast of the large Andros Island.
Windward Passage
The deep water strait between Cuba and Haiti, often navigated during the descent.
Île de la Gonâve
The large island situated in the center of the Gulf of Gonâve just before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the setting sun. You will see more of the inland Florida landscape and the western edge of the Bahamian archipelago. During the descent, you will have a clear view of the rugged western peninsulas of Haiti.
