BAQ → ADZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (Barranquilla) to Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport (San Andres Island)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic part of this route: the descent into San Andres. You get a front-row seat to the 'Sea of Seven Colors' and the vibrant coral reefs that surround the island.

Barranquilla Skyline
A clear view of the city's northern residential districts and industrial port areas immediately after takeoff.
Costa Verde
The lush coastline of the Atlantico department stretching westward towards Cartagena.
San Andres Barrier Reef
Visible as you descend, showing the intricate patterns of one of the world's largest coral systems.
Sea of Seven Colors
The breathtaking transition of water from deep indigo to pale turquoise as you approach the island.
North End District
A bird's-eye view of San Andres' main town and commercial center just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the spectacular landing at ADZ. For the best lighting on the turquoise water, choose a flight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the sun is high. Avoid the wing area (rows 10-20 on most A320s) to ensure your view of the reefs is not obstructed.

Magdalena River Mouth
The dramatic 'Bocas de Ceniza' where the brown river water clashes with the blue Caribbean Sea.
Puerto Colombia
Views of the historic pier and the coastal shipping lanes leading out of Barranquilla.
Caribbean Horizon
Deep blue oceanic vistas during the mid-flight crossing of the southwest Caribbean.
Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid engine heat distortion over the water. This side is slightly better for sunset views if you are flying on a late afternoon flight, as the sun will be positioned to the west/southwest.
