For morning flights, sit on the left to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also prime for seeing the transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the bright turquoise of the Florida reef tract as you descend into Miami. Try to get a seat ahead of the wing for the most unobstructed views of the coastline.
