BWI → NAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (Baltimore) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the United States' Mid-Atlantic coastline, the iconic Outer Banks, and the most vivid transition into the turquoise Bahama Banks during the descent.
Search flights from BWI to NAS
Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Catch a glimpse of the massive bridge connecting Sandy Point to Kent Island shortly after takeoff.
The Outer Banks
See the thin, fragile strip of North Carolina's barrier islands including Cape Hatteras.
The Bahama Banks
Witness the breathtaking shift from deep indigo ocean to brilliant, shallow turquoise water.
Berry Islands
Look down at the collection of small, pristine cays and white sand bars surrounded by coral reefs.
Nassau Coastline
Get a clear view of New Providence Island's northern resorts and beaches during the final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for the best scenery. For morning flights, sitting on the right keeps the sun behind the plane, providing better lighting for photos of the turquoise reefs. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the transition from the US coast to the Caribbean waters.

Delmarva Peninsula
View the rural landscapes and intricate wetlands of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia.
Atlantic Sunrise
On early morning departures, enjoy an unobstructed view of the sun rising over the open ocean.
Abaco Islands
Spot the northernmost islands of the Bahamian archipelago as the plane begins its southern approach.
Deep Water Shipping Lanes
Observe large cargo ships and cruise liners navigating the deep Atlantic waters toward Caribbean ports.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise, though be prepared for direct sunlight. This side is better for those who prefer the deep blues of the open Atlantic and the eastern perimeter of the islands.
