Dutch Polders
Intricate patterns of reclaimed land and wind farms along the coastline of the Netherlands.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Depending on the daily North Atlantic Track, you may see massive glaciers, fjords, and the vast inland ice cap.
Newfoundland & Labrador
The rugged, rocky coast of Eastern Canada, often featuring icebergs during the spring months.
Maine Coastline
The jagged, forested shoreline of New England, dotted with lighthouses and small islands.
Cape Canaveral
A clear view of the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the Banana River as you fly south over Florida.
Florida Gold Coast
Continuous views of the Atlantic beaches stretching from Jacksonville down to Fort Lauderdale.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice. Ask the crew about the flight path; if it's a northerly track, the Greenland views are world-class. Be aware that this side will be exposed to direct sunlight for much of the flight, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. For the best view of the Florida coastline, stay alert during the last 45 minutes of the flight.

Rhineland-Palatinate
Early views of the Rhine River valley and historic German landscapes shortly after takeoff.
English Channel
Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and the distant southern coast of England.
Mid-Atlantic Vastness
The deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean, often providing spectacular cloud formations and sunset colors.
Bahamian Cays
As the flight nears Florida, look for the stunning turquoise waters and white sand bars of the northern Bahamas.
South Beach
On final approach to MIA, enjoy a panoramic view of the Miami Beach skyline and the Port of Miami.
The left side is best for avoiding direct glare from the sun on this westbound route, particularly in the afternoon. It offers a superior view of the turquoise Bahamian waters during the final descent into Miami. Choose this side if you prefer a smoother visual experience without the harsh sunlight reflecting off the wing.
