Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Caribbean archipelago, the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, and a continuous view of the US Atlantic coastline from Florida up to New York.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Rosario Islands

The crystal-clear coral reefs and emerald waters of the Islas del Rosario just off the Colombian coast.

🇧🇸

The Bahamas

Stunning patterns of the Great Bahama Bank where the ocean shifts from deep indigo to bright turquoise.

🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Uninterrupted views of the Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach coastal strips and high-rises.

🌊

Outer Banks

The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina arching into the Atlantic Ocean.

🎡

Jersey Shore

The famous boardwalks, lighthouses, and coastal inlets of New Jersey leading toward New York Harbor.

The right side is premier for daytime flights. For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to get unobstructed views of the Bahamas' vibrant water colors. On descent, watch for the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the Long Island coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Cartagena Skyscrapers

Aerial view of the modern Bocagrande district and the historic walled city immediately after takeoff.

🇨🇺

Western Cuba

Views of the lush Pinar del Río province and the unique limestone mogotes of the Viñales Valley.

🐊

Florida Everglades

The vast, shimmering wetlands of Southern Florida as the flight path crosses the peninsula.

🏛️

Mid-Atlantic Cities

Distal views of major inland hubs like Richmond and Philadelphia depending on the flight corridor.

🗽

Manhattan Skyline

Iconic views of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty during specific runway approaches.

Sit on the left if you are on a late afternoon flight to avoid the direct sun glare from the west. This side is also your best bet for seeing the Manhattan skyline if the plane approaches JFK from the west over New Jersey.
