BDA → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from L.F. Wade International International Airport (Bermuda) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route because it offers a direct view of Bermuda's famous South Shore beaches during takeoff and typically provides the iconic panoramic view of South Beach, PortMiami, and the Downtown Miami skyline during the final approach.
Bermuda South Shore
Look down immediately after takeoff to see the pink sands of Horseshoe Bay and the vibrant turquoise reefs along the southern coast.
Great Sound
A sweeping view of the protected waters of the Great Sound and the historic Royal Naval Dockyard.
The Abaco Islands
Exquisite views of the northernmost Bahamian cays and the varying shades of blue across the shallow sandbanks.
Miami Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Brickell financial district skyscrapers and the iconic Downtown Miami skyline during descent.
PortMiami
A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest cruise terminal and the massive ships docked along the channel.
For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or overhead, providing perfect lighting for the turquoise waters of the Bahamas. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Miami skyline during the westbound landing approach.
St. George's
See the historic UNESCO World Heritage town and the jagged coastline of Bermuda's eastern end.
North Rock Reefs
A clear view of the sprawling northern coral reef system that surrounds the Bermuda plateau.
Grand Bahama
Fly over the pine forests and coastal developments of Freeport as you transit the northern Bahamas.
Hard Rock Guitar Hotel
Spot the massive, glowing guitar-shaped building in Hollywood, Florida, during the northern approach sequence.
The Everglades
On certain approach patterns, see the vast subtropical wetlands of Florida stretching toward the western horizon.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. It also provides the best perspective of the northern Bermuda reef patterns shortly after departure from L.F. Wade International.
