CLO β MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Andean peaks shortly after departure, the historic Colombian Caribbean coast, and the iconic Miami skyline during the final approach phase.
Central Cordillera
Spectacular views of snow-capped volcanoes like Nevado del Huila and Tolima in the distance.
Magdalena River
Watch the winding path of Colombia's largest river as it flows north through the tropical valley.
Cartagena Coastline
The historic walled city and the modern high-rises of Bocagrande along the Caribbean shore.
Central Cuba
A cross-section of the Cuban landscape, featuring agricultural plains and the northern keys.
Miami Skyline
Dramatic views of South Beach, the Port of Miami, and the Brickell financial district on final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for the Miami arrival; ask for a window seat to see the Everglades transition into the urban sprawl. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden hour lighting over the Colombian mountains.
Farallones de Cali
The rugged, ancient rock formations of the Western Andes visible immediately after departing CLO.
ChocΓ³ Rainforest
Aerial views of one of the world's most biodiverse and rainiest jungles along the Pacific coast.
Panama Isthmus
The narrow land bridge connecting the Americas, often visible as the flight transitions to the Caribbean.
Los Colorados Archipelago
Fringe reefs and small cays off the western tip of Cuba as you cross the island.
Florida Keys
The string of tropical islands stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico during the descent into Florida.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the unique geography of the Darien Gap and the turquoise waters of the western Caribbean reefs.
