Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for its views of the world's highest coastal mountain range, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, and the picturesque approach over the Florida Keys and Miami's turquoise coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The most impressive sight on the route, featuring snow-capped peaks rising directly from the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

🏝️

The Florida Keys

A stunning chain of coral islands and emerald waters visible during the northern approach into the Florida peninsula.

🇨🇺

Central Cuban Ranges

Cross over the rugged terrain and agricultural heartland of central Cuba while flying north toward the Florida straits.

💎

Caribbean Turquoise

Vibrant coral reefs and shallow sandbars near the northern coast of Colombia are clearly visible on clear days.

🏙️

Miami Beach Skyline

A panoramic view of the Atlantic coastline, high-rises, and South Beach during the final approach and landing pattern.

The right side is unbeatable for morning flights, as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta peaks. Ensure you are seated well ahead of or behind the wing to get the best view of the Florida Keys and the turquoise waters surrounding the archipelago during arrival.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
⛰️

Magdalena River Valley

View the winding Magdalena River as it flows through the heart of the Colombian Andes during the initial climb.

🌊

Gulf of Darien

Observe the dense Darien Gap jungle where the South American continent connects to Central America near the border.

🏙️

Havana Harbor

Look for the historic architecture and seawall of the Cuban capital as you cross the western portion of the island.

🐊

Everglades National Park

The vast, grassy wetlands of Florida appear just before the descent into Miami, offering a unique perspective of the river of grass.

Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. This side is also better for spotting the dense greenery of the Everglades and the urban sprawl of Havana during the final half of the journey.
