Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Gulf of Mexico coastline and provides the most dramatic views of the turquoise Bahamian archipelagos and the Caicos Banks during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Dallas Skyline

Excellent views of downtown Dallas and the Trinity River corridor during the initial climb.

🏖️

The Emerald Coast

Vibrant white sands and emerald waters of the Florida Panhandle near Destin and Panama City.

🐊

Everglades Fringe

The unique swampy textures and waterways of the Florida peninsula's southern tip.

🏝️

Great Bahama Bank

Stunning contrasts between shallow turquoise sandbars and deep blue channels across the Bahamas.

💎

Caicos Banks

World-famous vivid turquoise water and coral reef structures on the final approach to Providenciales.

Sit on the right for the iconic 'Caribbean' views. The final 45 minutes are spectacular as you cross the Bahamas. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the reefs and turquoise water. Ensure your window is clean before the descent into PLS for the best photos.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

North Dallas Suburbs

Aerial views of the sprawling DFW metroplex including Plano and Frisco shortly after departure.

🌲

East Texas Forests

Dense green landscapes of the Piney Woods region as the flight heads toward Louisiana.

🚀

Florida Space Coast

Potential views of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral when exiting the US mainland.

🌊

Open Atlantic

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean before the final approach into the islands.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to minimize glare from the sun. While it offers a glimpse of the Space Coast, the scenery is mostly open ocean once you clear Florida. Look for the distinctive 'tongue of the ocean' deep water trenches near the end of the flight.
