BSB → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its spectacular views of the Caribbean archipelagos and the quintessential aerial panorama of the Miami coastline and skyline during the approach.
Araguaia River
Vast river systems and sandy river beaches visible in central Brazil.
Antillean Chain
Potential sightings of the mountain ranges in Hispaniola or the shores of Cuba.
The Bahamas
Brilliant white sands and shallow turquoise waters of the Bahamian cays.
Miami Skyline
A world-class view of South Beach, the Port of Miami, and the downtown skyscrapers.
Best for avoiding direct sun glare on afternoon flights heading north. On arrival, this side usually offers the iconic view of the Miami Beach coastline and the Atlantic Ocean. Try to spot the large cargo ships entering the port.
Amazon Basin
Cross the heart of the world's largest rainforest with views of massive meandering rivers.
Caribbean Transition
Watch the deep Atlantic blues shift to vibrant turquoise over the Caribbean shelf.
The Everglades
Aerial views of the unique Florida wetlands and conservation areas during descent.
Central Plateau
The red earth and unique landscape of the Brazilian Cerrado shortly after takeoff.
Ideal for sunset views on afternoon departures. Keep a lookout for the dense Amazonian cloud forests in the first half of the journey. During descent, look for the distinct grid patterns of the Florida Everglades.
