San Juan Coastline
Views of the northern shores of Puerto Rico, including the historic El Morro fortress if the path is northerly.
Punta Cana

The right side is essential for island spotting. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the islands for photography. Keep a close eye out about 20-30 minutes into the flight for the best volcanic views. The descent into SDQ often follows the DR's eastern coastline, providing excellent views of the resort areas.
