Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the vibrant turquoise waters of the Caicos Bank and the iconic white sand beaches of Providenciales during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Massif du Nord

Dramatic views of Haiti's northern mountain range fading into the coastline during initial ascent.

💠

Caicos Bank

Breathtaking neon-turquoise shallow waters that characterize the approach into the Turks and Caicos archipelago.

🚤

Chalk Sound

A brilliant turquoise lagoon filled with hundreds of tiny rocky islands visible just before landing.

🏨

Grace Bay

Depending on the wind-directed approach, you may see the world-famous white sands and luxury resorts of Grace Bay.

The right side is essential for seeing the classic 'TCI blue' water. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the shallow reefs and sandbars perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏙️

Cap-Haïtien Harbor

Aerial view of the historic city and the busy shipping port of northern Haiti immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Labadee Peninsula

The private resort area of Labadee with its secluded coves and lush green hills is visible to the west.

🌊

The Deep Atlantic

The sharp drop-off from the continental shelf into the deep indigo waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

🏝️

West Caicos

The uninhabited and rugged coastline of West Caicos can be seen as the plane nears its destination.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to capture sunset colors over the ocean. On departure, look back toward the mountains of Haiti to catch a glimpse of the distant Citadelle Laferrière if the air is clear.
