FRA β MBJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Sangster International Airport (Montego Bay)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography and stunning views of the Bahamian archipelagos during the final leg of the journey.
English Channel
Clear views of the White Cliffs and the busy shipping lanes between the UK and France.
Irish Coastline
Rugged cliffs and emerald green fields of southern Ireland depending on the daily track.
Bahamian Atolls
World-class views of turquoise waters and coral reefs as you cross the Caribbean island chain.
Florida Straits
The deep blue transition between the Atlantic and the Gulf Stream near the US coast.
Montego Bay Reefs
Vibrant coral structures and turquoise lagoons visible during the final descent into MBJ.
The starboard side is ideal for capturing the vibrant colors of the Bahamas without sun glare. Most flights depart FRA in the morning, meaning the right side stays in the shade, making it much better for viewing the electric blue water near the end of the trip.
Ardennes Forest
Lush green landscapes across the border of Belgium and Luxembourg shortly after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep Atlantic as the flight clears the European continent.
Hispaniola Peaks
Distant views of the rugged mountainous terrain of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Caribbean Horizon
Beautiful golden hour colors over the open sea as you approach the destination.
Expect high sun glare for the majority of the flight as the sun remains to the south. This side is best for seeing the coastline of Jamaica during the final banking turns into Sangster International.
