Central Cuba

A cross-island transit over the province of CamagΓΌey, showing the rural landscape and reservoirs.

🌊

Jamaica North Shore

Views of the lush, green mountains meeting the Caribbean Sea as the aircraft descends into Montego Bay.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Bahamas. This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct glare of the sun which will be on the right side.

πŸŒ†

Miami Skyline

On a clear day, the downtown Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay are visible in the distance to the south.

🐊

The Everglades

Aerial views of the massive 'River of Grass' wetland ecosystem stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico.

Andros Island

The largest island in the Bahamas, featuring vast mangrove forests and the deep blue 'Tongue of the Ocean' drop-off.

⛰️

Sierra Maestra

Distant views of the rugged mountain peaks of southeastern Cuba as you exit the coastline.

πŸ›¬

Montego Bay Approach

As the plane banks for landing, you get a close-up view of the coral reefs and the airport's seaside runway.

The right side is best for afternoon flights (after 2 PM) to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the dramatic color change in the water when crossing the Great Bahama Bank.
