Spanish Wells
A vibrant fishing village on St. George's Cay, visible immediately after takeoff from ELH.
The Current Cut
Watch for the dramatic turquoise water rushing between North Eleuthera and Current Island.
Chub Cay
Known as the 'Billfish Capital of the World', this island marks the southern tip of the Berry Islands chain.
Port Everglades
One of the world's busiest cruise ports, often filled with massive ships, visible just before touchdown.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale
A clear view of the city's high-rises and the New River winding through the urban core.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be behind you. Look for the 'Tongue of the Ocean'—the deep blue trench that contrasts sharply with the shallow turquoise Great Bahama Bank. On clear days, you can see the intricate sand bars and coral heads near the Joulter Cays.

Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse
A historic black-and-white iron lighthouse visible on the Florida coast during the northern approach sequence.
Pompano Beach
