BEL → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (Belem) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean archipelago, the intricate turquoise patterns of the Bahamas, and the iconic Miami Beach coastline upon arrival.

Atlantic Ocean Rim
Witness the dramatic color change where the deep blue Atlantic depths meet the shallow, light blue Caribbean shelves.
Virgin Islands
On clear days, spot the scattered emerald jewels of the British and US Virgin Islands amidst the sea.
Exuma Cays
The highlight of the trip: a spectacular tapestry of sandbars, coral reefs, and impossibly clear turquoise waters in the Bahamas.
Miami Beach
Enjoy a front-row seat to the high-rise hotels of South Beach and the luxury estates of Star Island during the descent.
Port of Miami
Get a bird's eye view of the world's busiest cruise ship port and the bustling Biscayne Bay.
The right side is essential for viewing the Bahamas. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. If the flight arrives from the east (standard for MIA), this side offers the most scenic entry over the coastline. Afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare, so bring sunglasses.

Marajó Island
Immediately after takeoff from Belém, observe the world's largest fluvial island and the massive scale of the Amazon River delta.
Puerto Rico Mountains
As the flight heads north-northwest, the central mountain ranges of Puerto Rico are often visible in the distance.
The Everglades
During the final approach into MIA, the vast, grassy wetlands of the Florida Everglades dominate the landscape to the west.
Western Miami Suburbs
A view of the sprawling residential areas and the geometric canal systems of Doral and Hialeah.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you. This side is also preferred if you enjoy seeing the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico during evening arrivals. It provides a great perspective of the transition from the dense Amazon basin to the open ocean early in the flight.
