Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Dominican Republic's lush coastline, the turquoise reefs of the Turks and Caicos, and a frequently better angle of the Charlotte skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌵

Arikok National Park

View of Aruba's rugged, cactus-strewn eastern coastline and limestone formations upon departure.

🇩🇴

Dominican North Coast

Lush tropical landscapes and the coastal towns of the Dominican Republic during the mid-flight segment.

🐚

Turks and Caicos

Exceptional views of the Caicos Bank, known for some of the clearest and brightest blue waters in the world.

🏖️

Grand Strand

A long-distance view of the Myrtle Beach coastline as the flight transitions from the Atlantic to the US mainland.

🌆

Uptown Charlotte

A prime view of the Bank of America Stadium and the city's concentrated skyscraper cluster on the descent.

The right side is highly recommended for the descent into CLT, as the typical landing pattern provides a clear view of the city center. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to capture the vibrant colors of the Caicos Bank without engine heat distortion.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Aruba's Low-Rise Zone

Aerial views of Eagle Beach and the luxury hotel strip shortly after takeoff from Oranjestad.

🇭🇹

Haitian Peaks

Distances views of the rugged, mountainous Massif de la Hotte region as you cross the Caribbean.

🌊

Tongue of the Ocean

The dramatic deep-water trench in the Bahamas, showing a sharp transition from turquoise to midnight blue.

🚤

The Exumas

Countless tiny cays and sandbars creating intricate swirling patterns in the shallow Bahamian waters.

🌲

Francis Marion Forest

Dense green canopy and wetlands of South Carolina as the plane moves inland toward the Piedmont.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for spotting the famous sandbars of the Bahamas, though you may miss the main Charlotte skyline view if the plane lands on the western runways.
