Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the turquoise Caribbean archipelagos during the final descent and typically enjoys better lighting for photographing the European coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Baltic Coastline

Clear views of the Estonian and Latvian coastlines and the Gulf of Riga shortly after reaching cruise altitude.

🇩🇰

Danish Straits

Aerial perspectives of the islands of Denmark and the infrastructure connecting Scandinavia to mainland Europe.

🧊

North Atlantic Ice

Potential sightings of icebergs or sea ice patterns when the flight path takes a more northerly route near Newfoundland.

🏝️

Turks and Caicos

Stunning views of the shallow, bright blue waters and coral reefs of the Lucayan Archipelago before the final approach.

🏖️

Bavaro Beaches

A breathtaking view of the white sands and luxury resorts of the Punta Cana coastline during the landing sequence.

For the best experience, sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caribbean reefs. This side receives direct southern sunlight for much of the journey, so keep the window shade partially down during the mid-Atlantic crossing to avoid glare while keeping an eye out for the island approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

St. Petersburg Region

Distant views of the Gulf of Finland and the sprawling landscape of the Leningrad region after departure.

🏔️

Greenland Ice Sheet

On specific polar tracks, the right side provides a rare look at the massive glaciers and fjords of southern Greenland.

🇨🇦

Canadian Maritimes

The rugged, rocky shores of Newfoundland and the dense forests of Nova Scotia are often visible to the north.

🌇

Atlantic Sunset

Westbound flights often race the sun, providing an elongated and spectacular sunset over the Atlantic horizon.

🇩🇴

Cordillera Oriental

Views of the lush, rolling green mountains of the eastern Dominican Republic as the plane maneuvers for landing.

The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer indirect light, as it faces north away from the sun. If flying during the winter months on a night flight, this is the side to watch for the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) during the high-latitude portion of the crossing.
