Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior primarily for the stunning aerial views of the Bahamian archipelagos and the Great Bahama Bank shortly after departure from Florida.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🚢

Port Everglades

Immediate views of the cruise ship terminals and the Fort Lauderdale coastline during ascent.

🏝️

Great Bahama Bank

Vibrant turquoise waters and shallow sandbars visible as the plane crosses the Bahamas.

🌊

Andros Island

Views of the largest Bahamian island featuring intricate tidal channels and the deep 'Tongue of the Ocean'.

🏖️

Cayo Coco

Aerial glimpses of the white sand beaches and resorts along the northern coast of Cuba.

🏙️

Cartagena Northern Shore

Views of the Boquilla area and the northern hotel zone during the final approach.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Bahamas early in the flight. On morning departures, the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photography of the turquoise reefs. Watch closely within the first 30 minutes for the most dramatic water color changes.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🐊

The Everglades

Views of the vast Florida wetlands and water conservation areas stretching west from FLL.

🏝️

Florida Keys

Distant views of the Upper Keys stretching into the Gulf of Mexico.

🇨🇺

Western Cuba

Sightings of the Cuban coastline near Matanzas or Varadero depending on the flight path.

🏝️

Rosario Islands

Stunning coral island chain located just southwest of Cartagena visible during the descent.

🏰

Old Walled City

Breathtaking views of the historic colonial center and the Bocagrande skyscrapers on final approach.

The right side is the 'arrival side.' If the aircraft approaches Rafael Nuñez from the south or west, you will get a perfect view of the Walled City and the modern skyline. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Rosario Islands during the descent.
