BOG β MCO
Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Orlando International Airport (Orlando)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior geographic tour, featuring the world's highest coastal mountains, vibrant Caribbean island crossings, and a panoramic view of the Florida Atlantic coastline and Lake Okeechobee.
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The world's highest coastal mountain range with dramatic snow-capped peaks near the Caribbean coast.
Cartagena de Indias
Views of the historic walled city and the modern skyscrapers of the Bocagrande district.
Blue Mountains
The lush, forested mountain peaks of interior Jamaica as the flight crosses the Caribbean Sea.
Varadero
The striking 20-kilometer stretch of white sand and turquoise water on Cuba's northern coast.
Florida Keys
The vibrant reef systems and the string of islands connected by the Overseas Highway.
Miami & Gold Coast
The dense skyline of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach along the Atlantic shore.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's massive inland sea, which is highly prominent during the northern approach into Orlando.
The right side is essential for morning flights to see the Andes in early light. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after takeoff for the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta peaks. During the descent into MCO, look out for the distinct transition from the turquoise Caribbean to the deep blue Atlantic and the sprawling Everglades.
Cordillera Occidental
The rugged western ridges of the Colombian Andes visible shortly after departure from Bogota.
Panama Isthmus
Distant views of the narrow land bridge connecting the Americas and the entrance to the canal.
Grand Cayman
The distinct horseshoe shape of the island surrounded by bright turquoise coral reefs.
Havana Coastline
A glimpse of the historic Cuban capital and the famous MalecΓ³n seawall from high altitude.
Florida Gulf Coast
The white sand beaches of the Sarasota and Tampa areas visible during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a cooler cabin and excellent opportunities for sunset photography over the Gulf of Mexico as you approach Florida. Watch for the Cayman Islands approximately halfway through the flight duration.
