FDF → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (Fort-de-france) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the volcanic chain of the Lesser Antilles and the world-famous turquoise waters of the Bahamian archipelagos.
Volcanic Arcs
Spectacular views of Dominica and Guadeloupe's La Grande Soufrière volcano shortly after takeoff.
Virgin Archipelago
A distant look at the scattered islands of the US and British Virgin Islands to the north.
Exuma Cays
The highlight of the trip, featuring mesmerizing turquoise water patterns and tiny cays in the Bahamas.
Miami Beach & Downtown
On the standard approach, you will see the iconic high-rises of South Beach and the bustling Port of Miami.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights, as the sun illuminates the Bahamian reefs perfectly. Sit forward of the wing to ensure your view of the Lesser Antilles volcanoes isn't obstructed.
Caribbean Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea during the mid-flight segment.
Hispaniola South Coast
The rugged southern coastline of the Dominican Republic, including the Barahona Peninsula.
Turks and Caicos Banks
Faint views of the shallow, white-sand banks and coral reefs of the southern Lucayan Archipelago.
Everglades Fringe
As the plane turns for its final approach, catch glimpses of the vast Florida wetlands to the west.
Ideal for morning departures to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in water color when passing over the deep Puerto Rico Trench.
