Little Bahama Bank
Incredible patterns of white sand and neon-turquoise water visible in the shallow banks north of the island.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side is best for capturing the iconic contrast between the Florida coastline and the deep ocean during the initial climb.
