Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Treasure Cay Airport (Treasure Cay)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the breathtaking color gradient of the Little Bahama Bank and the picturesque northern cays of the Abaco chain.
Gulf Stream Edge
Watch the dramatic transition from the deep sapphire blue of the Atlantic to the glowing neon turquoise of the Bahamian shelf.
Little Bahama Bank
Expansive views of shallow sandbars and underwater dunes that create a liquid marble effect from the air.
Sea of Abaco
The protected, crystal-clear waterway located between the Great Abaco mainland and the outer barrier cays.
Green Turtle Cay
A stunning aerial view of the historic New Plymouth settlement and its bright rooftops on final approach.
Sit on the left for the most iconic 'Bahamas Blue' photo opportunities. Morning flights are ideal to avoid sun glare on the northern side of the aircraft. Since this is a short flight at a lower altitude, keep your camera ready within 15 minutes of takeoff.
Fort Lauderdale Skyline
A clear view of downtown Fort Lauderdale and the winding New River immediately after takeoff.
Port Everglades
See the massive cruise ships and container terminals from above as the plane turns toward the Atlantic.
Grand Bahama Island
Views of the southern settlements, pine forests, and the distinct Lucayan canal system stretching across the island.
The Marls of Abaco
An intricate mangrove wilderness and shallow bonefish flats that look like a green and blue mosaic.
The right side is excellent for seeing the industrial and natural mix of Grand Bahama. If you are flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing the best color saturation for your photos of the islands and reefs.
