Which side of the plane to sit from Hato International Airport (Willemstad) to Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston)?

Willemstad Architecture
Aerial perspective of the colorful UNESCO World Heritage site and the Queen Emma Bridge during climb-out.
Tiburon Peninsula
On clear days, the mountainous southern arm of Haiti is visible on the eastern horizon mid-flight.
Blue Mountain Peak
Dramatic views of Jamaica's highest mountain range, famous for its world-class coffee and mist-covered peaks.
The Palisadoes
The thin, sandy tombolo that connects the airport to the mainland, providing a stunning backdrop for landing.
This is the 'scenic' side for the arrival into Kingston. Book a morning flight if possible, as the Blue Mountains are often obscured by clouds in the late afternoon. Watch closely as the plane approaches the Palisadoes, as you can see the ruins of Port Royal near the tip of the peninsula.

Sit toward the back of the aircraft to avoid the wing for the best views of the Jamaican coastline during descent. This side is typically better for avoiding direct afternoon sun glare when flying north-northwest from Curacao.
