Search flights from CCS to MIA
Dominican Republic Coast
Excellent views of the northern coastline of Hispaniola, featuring white sand beaches and tropical vegetation.
The Exuma Cays
Incredible patterns of sapphire blue and turquoise water surrounding the long chain of Bahamian islands.
Bimini Islands
The westernmost district of the Bahamas, appearing as a small hook-shaped island just before the Florida coast.
Miami Beach & Downtown
If landing on runways 8 or 9, you will see the iconic high-rises, the Port of Miami, and the blue waters of Biscayne Bay.
Straits of Florida
Busy shipping lanes with cargo ships and cruise liners visible as you approach the US coastline.
The right side is the clear winner for water colors. To get the best photos of the Bahamian reefs, book a morning or midday flight when the sun is high to illuminate the shallow banks. If the wind is blowing from the east (typical), you will likely fly right past the Miami skyline for a spectacular landing view.

Cordillera de la Costa
Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range rising immediately behind Caracas during the initial climb.
Haitian Mountains
The high peaks of the Massif de la Hotte and the rugged terrain of western Hispaniola are visible as you head north.
Eastern Cuba
Sightings of the mountainous terrain and coastal inlets near Guantanamo and Holguin on the western horizon.
The Everglades
Vast stretches of wetlands and sawgrass marshes visible during the descent into MIA if the plane approaches from the west.
Sit on the left if you are taking a late afternoon flight to catch a stunning sunset over the Caribbean and the Florida Everglades. This side is also better for avoiding direct glare from the sun during morning departures from Caracas. Keep an eye out for the ABC islands far to the west shortly after takeoff.
