Which side of the plane to sit from South Bimini Airport (Alice Town) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the South Florida coastline and the transition from the turquoise Great Bahama Bank to the deep indigo of the Gulf Stream, culminating in a prime view of Port Everglades.
Bimini Coastline
Immediate views of the pristine white sands and shallow turquoise waters of South Bimini upon takeoff.
The Gulf Stream
A dramatic visual transition where the ocean floor drops off, turning the water from bright teal to a deep, royal blue.
Miami Horizon
On clear days, the sprawling skyline of Miami and Sunny Isles Beach is visible to the southwest during the mid-flight crossing.
Port Everglades
A bird's-eye view of the massive cruise ships and container vessels docked at the port just before touchdown.
Hollywood Beach
The famous Broadwalk and the dense row of high-rise condos lining the shore as the plane crosses the Florida coast.
Sit on the left for the best views of the South Florida skyline. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft, preventing glare on the windows when looking south toward Miami. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff; the flight duration is rarely more than 25-30 minutes.
North Bimini
An excellent view of Alice Town and the narrow, developed strip of North Bimini as the aircraft climbs away.
Bimini Road
Look for the legendary underwater limestone formations near the coast, often cited as a mystical path to Atlantis.
Intracoastal Waterway
Aerial perspective of the 'Venice of America' with its intricate canal systems and luxury yacht docks.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Views of the iconic Las Olas area and the luxury hotels lining the northern end of the beach strip.
The right side is perfect for morning flights to see the shallow reefs around Bimini with the sun illuminating the water from behind. It provides a better view of the inland canal systems and 'Millionaire's Row' if the aircraft approaches FLL from the north.
