Aerial view of the 'Platinum Coast' luxury resorts and calm turquoise waters shortly after takeoff from BGI.
Hispaniola Mountains
Dramatic views of the Cordillera Central mountains and the northern coastline of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Great Bahama Bank
Incredible contrasting shades of light blue and sapphire over the shallow underwater sand dunes of the Bahamas.
Miami Downtown
Sweeping views of the Brickell financial district, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami River during the landing sequence.
The Everglades
If the plane circles for a western approach, the vast wetlands and sawgrass marshes of the Florida Everglades are visible.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. On morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, making the left side better for photography without glare. Keep a lookout for the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic about midway through the flight.
