Which side of the plane to sit from Owen Roberts International Airport (Georgetown) to Gerrard Smith International Airport (Cayman Brac)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the vibrant North Sound and the stunning turquoise lagoons of the Sister Islands as you approach the destination.
North Sound & Stingray City
Shortly after takeoff, view the vast, shallow sandbars and the famous Stingray City gathering point in the crystal-clear waters.
Rum Point & Starfish Point
A top-down view of the northern peninsula of Grand Cayman, where white sands meet the deep blue Caribbean Sea.
Little Cayman South Hole Sound
As you pass Little Cayman, see the protected, shallow lagoon and the tiny, uninhabited Owen Island just offshore.
Bloody Bay Marine Park
The deep sapphire waters off the north coast of Little Cayman indicate the location of the world-famous underwater vertical drop-off.
Sit in a window seat forward of the wing to capture the gradient of blues in the North Sound. Flights departing between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM offer the best overhead sun for seeing through the water to the coral reef structures. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up from GCM.
George Town Harbor
See the colorful waterfront of the capital and any cruise ships anchored in the deep water just off the ironshore.
Bodden Town Coastline
The historic former capital of the Cayman Islands is visible along the rugged southern shore of Grand Cayman.
The Bluff (Cayman Brac)
On final approach, witness the dramatic rise of the limestone plateau that gives Cayman Brac its name.
South Sound Reef
View the long line of breaking waves against the protective barrier reef that lines the southern coast of the island.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the limestone cliffs of The Bluff on Cayman Brac. If the flight path takes a southern route, you will get a great perspective of the length of Little Cayman before landing.
