BON → CUR
Which side of the plane to sit from Flamingo International Airport (Kralendijk) to Hato International Airport (Willemstad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the iconic Willemstad harbor entrance, the salt pans of Bonaire, and the pristine islet of Klein Curaçao.
Pekelmeer Salt Pans
Vibrant pink salt lakes and towering white salt pyramids at the southern tip of Bonaire.
Klein Curaçao
A small, uninhabited island known for its turquoise waters and a lonely, historic lighthouse.
Willemstad Waterfront
Excellent views of the UNESCO-listed Handelskade buildings and the Queen Emma Bridge.
St. Anna Bay
The deep-water channel that splits the capital of Curaçao into Punda and Otrobanda.
Fuik Bay
A secluded coastal inlet known for clear waters and popular weekend boat gatherings.
Choose the left side for the best view of the colorful architecture during landing. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the Caribbean Sea.
Kralendijk
A bird's eye view of Bonaire's charming capital right after takeoff from Flamingo Airport.
Washington Slagbaai
The rugged, desert-like northern landscape of Bonaire visible in the distance during climb.
North Coast Surf
Dramatic views of the rough Caribbean Sea crashing against Curaçao's limestone terraces.
Spanish Water
A large, protected lagoon filled with sailboats and surrounded by upscale residential villas.
The right side is ideal for spotting the rugged desert terrain and limestone cliffs of the islands. Late afternoon flights provide great golden-hour lighting for the northern coastline.
