Which side of the plane to sit from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (Charlotte) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Atlantic coastline during the descent and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Bahamian island chains and the iconic turquoise transition of the shallow banks upon arrival.

Uptown Charlotte
Aerial views of the Queen City's skyline and Bank of America Stadium shortly after takeoff.
Carolina Lowcountry
Stunning vistas of the intricate salt marshes and barrier islands near Charleston and Hilton Head.
The Gulf Stream
The visible line where the deep, dark indigo of the Atlantic meets the vibrant turquoise of the Bahama Bank.
Berry Islands
A bird's-eye view of a cluster of nearly 30 cays known for their white sand and clear lagoons.
Nassau Shoreline
Dramatic views of the northern coast of New Providence Island and Paradise Island during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Approximately 20 minutes before landing, keep your camera ready for the 'Great Blue Hole' effect as the ocean floor rises rapidly. A seat in front of the wing is recommended to capture the water's gradient without engine obstruction.

Florida Coastline
Distant views of the Florida Atlantic coast, often visible on clear days as the flight heads southeast.
Grand Bahama

Great Bahama Bank
Endless patterns of underwater sand dunes and lime-scale formations in the shallow, crystalline water.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing better lighting for photos. Look for the distinct 'sand bores'—white, underwater sand ribbons that create a marbled effect in the sea below.
