FRA β†’ MBJ

Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

English Channel

Clear views of the White Cliffs and the busy shipping lanes between the UK and France.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

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.

πŸ›³οΈ

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.1
🌲

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.

πŸ”οΈ

Hispaniola Peaks

Distant views of the rugged mountainous terrain of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

πŸŒ…

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.
