Northeast Corridor
Distant views of the NYC skyline and the Jersey Shore as the plane tracks south along the Atlantic coast.
Cape Cod & Martha's Vineyard
A stunning perspective of the Massachusetts coastline, including the unique glacial geography of the islands.
The Bahamas Chain
The undisputed highlight, featuring the vibrant turquoise waters of the Exuma Cays and the Great Bahama Bank.
Turks and Caicos
Pass over the dramatic drop-offs and coral reefs of the Caicos Bank, appearing as glowing neon blue patches.
Santo Domingo Cityscape
A panoramic view of the oldest city in the Americas, including the Ozama River and the Colonial Zone during landing.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a window seat forward of the wing to capture unobstructed photos of the Bahamas. The transition from the dark Atlantic blue to the shallow turquoise of the banks is most dramatic around 2.5 hours into the flight. Afternoon flights may experience some glare, so morning departures are ideal for photography.

Boston Harbor & Islands
Immediately after takeoff, witness the intricate layout of the harbor islands and the historic Quincy coastline.
Outer Banks (OBX)
Depending on the offshore airway, you may see the thin, sandy ribbon of the North Carolina barrier islands.
Mona Passage
As you approach the Caribbean, the deep blue waters separating Hispaniola from Puerto Rico come into view.
Punta Cana Coastline
The far eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, known for its dense clusters of resorts and white sand beaches.
Port of Caucedo
Large container ships and the industrial maritime infrastructure just east of the airport during final descent.
For the best visibility of the North Carolina coast and the Mona Passage, opt for a mid-morning flight to keep the sun behind you. This side is better if you prefer deep ocean vistas and the initial departure views of the Massachusetts South Shore.
