Exuma Cays
Vibrant turquoise waters and intricate sandbar patterns of the central Bahamas cays.
Turks and Caicos
Distant views of the shallow banks and deep blue Atlantic drops off the Caicos islands.
Trinidad Northern Range
Stunning aerial view of the densely forested mountains that line Trinidad's northern coast.
Arima Valley
Lush green valleys and residential settlements nestled in the foothills during the final descent.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. Keep your camera ready roughly 30 to 45 minutes after takeoff from FLL for the best views of the Bahamian archipelagos. On arrival, the Northern Range provides a breathtaking backdrop for photos as the plane banks toward Piarco.

Florida Gold Coast
Excellent views of the Fort Lauderdale shoreline and the Atlantic coastal ridge upon departure.
Hispaniola Terrain
Rugged, mountainous coastlines of Haiti and the Dominican Republic visible in the distance.
Caribbean Volcanic Arc
Silhouettes of islands like Montserrat or St. Kitts depending on the specific air traffic route.
Gulf of Paria
The calm waters and maritime activity between the coast of Venezuela and western Trinidad.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you will have a better vantage point for the mountainous spine of the Greater Antilles. During landing, look for the 'Dragon's Mouth'—the narrow straits separating Trinidad from the Venezuelan mainland.
