Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the turquoise Bahamian archipelago and the iconic Miami Beach skyline during the standard approach into MIA.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Costa Dorada

Scenic views of the Spanish coastline and the Mediterranean Sea immediately following departure from Barcelona.

🏰

Castile-La Mancha

The high plains and historical landscapes of central Spain as the flight heads west toward the Atlantic.

🏝️

The Bahamas

Incredible views of the shallow, bright turquoise waters and coral reefs of the Bahamian islands during the descent.

πŸ–οΈ

Biscayne Bay

Clear views of the sandbars and small islands nestled between the mainland and the barrier islands of Miami.

πŸ™οΈ

South Beach

The Art Deco district and the high-rise luxury towers of Miami Beach during the final approach path.

Book an 'A' window seat. While the Atlantic crossing is mostly water, the final 30 minutes are stunning. Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left (south) for the duration; be prepared for some glare in the afternoon. The 'Bahamas view' is most vibrant between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM local time when the sun is high.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
β›ͺ

Barcelona Skyline

Depending on takeoff direction, a chance to see the Eixample district and Sagrada FamΓ­lia.

πŸ”οΈ

Sistema Central

Rugged mountain peaks and dramatic terrain across the heart of the Iberian Peninsula.

πŸŒ…

Atlantic Horizon

Unobstructed views of the vast ocean with better lighting conditions for photography away from the direct sun.

πŸ–οΈ

Florida Gold Coast

Views of the Florida shoreline stretching from Palm Beach down to Fort Lauderdale during the initial descent.

🐊

The Everglades

If the aircraft circles to land from the west, you will see the vast, green river of grass and wetlands.

Choose a 'K' window seat to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for viewing the Barcelona city center if the flight departs to the northeast before turning. During landing, if the wind is from the east, you may get a panoramic view of the Everglades as the plane makes its final turn.
