Which side of the plane to sit from Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (Tortola) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a continuous panorama of the Caribbean archipelago, offering views of the northern coasts of Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the stunning turquoise banks of the Bahamas.
Sir Francis Drake Channel
Spectacular views of Tortola, St. John, and St. Thomas immediately following departure from Beef Island.
Puerto Rico North Coast
Detailed views of the rugged shoreline and the urban landscape of San Juan from cruising altitude.
Hispaniola Coastline
The lush, mountainous terrain of the Dominican Republic's northern coast and the Samana Peninsula.
Turks and Caicos
Incredible contrast between the deep blue Atlantic and the neon-turquoise shallows of the Caicos Bank.
The Exuma Necklace
The iconic string of tiny cays and sandbars that make up the central Bahamian island chain.
Biscayne Bay
A close-up look at Key Biscayne, Cape Florida Lighthouse, and the southern Miami shoreline during descent.
The left side is optimal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare on the window. Use a polarising filter for photos to capture the intense blues of the Bahamian waters. This side is consistently more scenic throughout the mid-flight duration.
Outer Virgin Islands
Views of Guana Island, Great Camanoe, and the remote northern reaches of the BVI.
Open Atlantic
Expansive vistas of the deep Atlantic and dramatic tropical cloud formations over the horizon.
Grand Bahama
Distant views of the northernmost Bahamian islands and the surrounding reef structures.
Miami Beach Strip
A world-class view of the high-rise hotels along Sunny Isles, North Miami Beach, and South Beach.
PortMiami
Clear sights of the cruise ship terminals and the iconic Venetian Islands during the final turn to the runway.
Choose the right side if you are arriving in the late afternoon; the sunset over the Florida Everglades can be breathtaking. While the mid-portion of the flight is mostly ocean, the arrival into Miami from this side offers the most cinematic views of the skyline and the Port of Miami.
