FLL → NAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the Bimini island chain and the breathtaking turquoise gradients of the Great Bahama Bank during the short crossing.
Miami Horizon
Panoramic views of the South Florida coastline stretching toward the distant Miami skyline shortly after departure.
Bimini Islands
The first Bahamian landmass visible, featuring North and South Bimini surrounded by crystal clear shallow waters.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning abstract patterns formed by underwater sand dunes and varying depths in the shallow turquoise sea.
Berry Islands
A cluster of small cays and private islands visible mid-flight, often surrounded by yachts.
Cable Beach
Direct views of the Baha Mar resort and the pristine white sands of western New Providence just before touchdown.
The right side is unbeatable for seeing the 'electric blue' water of the Bahama Banks. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. This side is particularly spectacular during midday flights when the high sun overhead makes the turquoise water colors pop with maximum saturation.
Port Everglades
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest cruise ports immediately after takeoff from FLL.
The Gulf Stream
Watch the sharp color change from the coastal teal to the deep cobalt blue of the powerful Atlantic current.
Paradise Island
Clear views of the iconic Atlantis Resort and the luxury estates of Ocean Club during the descent into Nassau.
Nassau Harbor
Spot cruise ships docked at Prince George Wharf and the historic lighthouse as you approach the runway.
Sit on the left if you want the best view of the Nassau city skyline and the sprawling Atlantis resort complex during the final approach. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the colorful Bahamian architecture and turquoise reefs without glare.
