For the best photography, opt for a morning flight; the sun will be positioned to the north, providing perfect lighting for the southern coastlines and mountains without glare. Seats forward of the wing are recommended to capture the sprawling views of Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince. During the winter months, the air is typically clearer, offering better visibility of the distant peaks in the Dominican Republic.
