Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏘️

Willemstad Harbor

Aerial view of the iconic Queen Emma Bridge and the vibrant, pastel-colored colonial buildings of Punda and Otrobanda.

⛰️

Haiti's Western Peninsula

The rugged mountains and deep blue coastal waters of the Tiburon Peninsula as you transit toward Cuba.

🏝️

Jardines del Rey

The stunning archipelago off Cuba's northern coast, featuring white sand beaches and intricate coral reef systems.

🌊

Exuma Cays

World-famous turquoise water patterns and narrow strips of sand stretching across the Great Bahama Bank.

🏖️

Miami Beach

A panoramic sweep of South Beach, the Art Deco district, and the sprawling Atlantic coastline during the final descent.

🏙️

Downtown Miami

The dense skyline of Brickell and the central business district as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

Book a window seat on the left for the 'Money Shot' of the Bahamas. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare reflecting off the Caribbean Sea. If landing to the West, this side provides the best views of the Port of Miami's cruise ships.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
🌵

Eastern Curacao

The wild, untouched northern coast of the island with limestone cliffs and crashing waves.

🇨🇺

Central Cuban Plains

A vast look at the agricultural landscapes and small towns of central Cuba as the flight path crosses the island.

⛵

The Berry Islands

A cluster of cays in the Bahamas known for deep water harbors and isolated private resorts.

🛥️

Biscayne Bay

The expansive blue waters between the mainland and the barrier islands, dotted with pleasure craft.

🐊

The Everglades

The beginning of the vast Florida wetlands visible during the initial approach phases from the south.

The right side is excellent for early morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. It offers a broader view of the Florida Keys if the flight path tracks slightly further west. Keep an eye out for large cargo ships entering the Florida Straits.
