Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Florida Keys, the Cuban coastline, and a spectacular approach past the Bay Islands of Honduras.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏝️

Florida Keys

Aerial perspective of the overseas highway and the chain of islands stretching toward Key West.

🏙️

Havana Skyline

Views of the Cuban capital and its iconic Malecon sea wall during the island crossing.

🌊

Caribbean Shallows

Vibrant turquoise waters and sandbars as the flight moves south toward Central America.

🐚

Bay Islands

Look for Utila and Roatán, surrounded by the world's second-largest barrier reef system.

🛶

Ulúa River

The winding brown waters of the major Honduran river as it snakes through the Sula Valley.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Bay Islands (Utila/Roatán) roughly 20-30 minutes before landing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing clear lighting of the coral reefs and the Honduran coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🐊

Everglades

The vast 'River of Grass' and wetland ecosystems of Southern Florida immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Viñales Valley

Unique limestone karst 'mogotes' and tobacco fields of Pinar del Río in Western Cuba.

🚢

Yucatan Channel

The deep blue corridor where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Caribbean, often dotted with cargo ships.

🇧🇿

Belize Barrier Reef

Distant views of the cays and the deep blue drop-offs of the Mesoamerican Reef.

⛰️

Merendón Mountains

The rugged, cloud-forested peaks that border the western edge of the Sula Valley upon arrival.

The right side is excellent for viewing the dramatic karst mountains of Western Cuba. On afternoon flights, be prepared for some glare as the sun moves west, but you will get the best silhouette views of the Merendón mountain range during the final descent into SAP.
