Which side of the plane to sit from Rafael Hernandez Airport (Aguadilla) to Orlando International Airport (Orlando)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides stunning views of the Bahamian coral reefs and is the prime spot for viewing Orlando's world-famous theme parks during the arrival phase.
Punta Borinquen
Witness the dramatic limestone cliffs and surf breaks of Aguadilla immediately after takeoff from Puerto Rico.
Great Bahama Bank
Aerial views of the surreal turquoise waters and white sand bars of the Bahamian archipelago north of the Caribbean.
Port Canaveral
Spot the massive cruise ships docked at one of the world's busiest cruise ports as you cross the Florida coastline.
Orlando Theme Parks
On many approaches, you can clearly see the Epcot Ball, Cinderella Castle, and the Universal Studios skyline.
Sit on the left for spectacular sunset views on evening flights. During the final 15 minutes of flight, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct geometry of Disney World and Universal Orlando, especially if the aircraft is landing towards the south.
Puerto Rico Trench
Look out over the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean shortly after leaving the northwestern Puerto Rican coastline.
Abaco Islands
The easternmost chain of the Bahamas featuring lush greenery and isolated, sandy cays surrounded by deep blue water.
Kennedy Space Center
Unmatched views of the historic Launch Complex 39 and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building near Cape Canaveral.
St. Johns River
Observe the winding dark waters and surrounding marshlands of Florida's longest river as you descend into Orlando.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Check the NASA launch schedule before you fly; if a rocket launch is occurring during your flight, this side provides a front-row seat to the ascent plume over the Atlantic.
