Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the Florida Space Coast and the iconic approach past the historic forts of Old San Juan.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

Catch views of the downtown and midtown metropolitan area shortly after departing Hartsfield-Jackson.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

Spot the massive launch pads and the Vehicle Assembly Building while crossing the Florida coastline near Cape Canaveral.

🌊

Atlantic Shelf

Watch the dramatic transition from the light green coastal waters to the deep indigo of the open Atlantic Ocean.

🏰

Old San Juan

A stunning aerial perspective of the historic walled city and its colorful colonial buildings on final approach.

🛡️

El Morro Fortress

The massive 16th-century Spanish fortification standing guard over the entrance to the San Juan Bay.

Choose the left side for the 'money shot' of San Juan. For the best lighting, morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the city. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the fortress during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
🐊

Okefenokee Swamp

View the vast, dark wetlands and prehistoric landscapes on the border of Georgia and Florida.

🏝️

The Bahama Banks

Incredible displays of turquoise waters, sand bars, and coral reefs as you fly over the Great Bahama Bank.

💎

Turks and Caicos

Glimpses of the island chain's white sand beaches and tropical reefs from cruising altitude.

⛰️

Cordillera Central

The lush, green mountain spine of Puerto Rico appearing through the clouds as the plane begins its descent.

The right side is perfect for ocean lovers. The transit over the Bahamas provides some of the most vibrant water colors in the world. To see the most intense turquoise hues, book a flight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is at its highest point.
