BZE → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (Belize City) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Belize Barrier Reef upon departure, glimpses of the Cuban coastline, and a classic approach over the Florida Everglades and Keys.
Belize Barrier Reef
Stunning turquoise waters and coral formations immediately after takeoff from BZE.
Western Cuba
Clear views of the Pinar del Rio province and its lush green landscapes during the mid-flight segment.
The Everglades
Vast, shimmering wetlands and winding waterways as you descend into South Florida.
Miami Skyline
Iconic high-rises of Downtown Miami and the Brickell financial district during the final approach.
Florida Keys
Panoramic views of the northern island chain and the turquoise waters surrounding them.
Sit on the left for the most diverse views. Early morning flights offer soft light over the Belizean coast, while afternoon flights provide great lighting for the Florida approach without the sun's glare directly in your eyes.
Turneffe Atoll
Beautiful aerial views of this large coral atoll shortly after leaving the Belizean coastline.
Key Biscayne
The lighthouse and white sand beaches of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park near the journey's end.
Port of Miami
Massive cruise ships and cargo terminals visible just before the wheels touch down.
Miami Beach
Views of the Atlantic coastline and the Art Deco architecture of South Beach.
Choose the right side if you prefer to see the turquoise shallows of the outer atolls near Belize or the bustling maritime activity and coastal beaches around Miami.
