Which side of the plane to sit from Owen Roberts International Airport (Georgetown) to Goloson International Airport (La Ceiba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Grand Cayman coastline upon departure and provides a breathtaking panorama of the Pico Bonito mountain range as you approach mainland Honduras.

Seven Mile Beach
Uninterrupted views of the world-famous white sands and turquoise waters of Grand Cayman shortly after takeoff.
Caribbean Abyss
Watch the water color transition from bright teal to deep navy as the plane crosses the Cayman Trench.
Pico Bonito National Park
Dramatic views of the 2,435-meter peaks that tower directly behind the city of La Ceiba.
Honduran Rainforest
Dense, lush tropical greenery stretching from the coast into the rugged interior mountains.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for the best view of the mountains. Morning flights are ideal as the sun highlights the peaks of Pico Bonito, whereas afternoon flights may see cloud cover building up over the rainforest. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for the most dramatic terrain shots.

North Sound
Aerial perspective of the Grand Cayman lagoon and the famous Stingray City sandbars during the climb out.
Utila Island
The smallest of the major Bay Islands is often visible to the west during the descent into La Ceiba.
Caribbean Horizon
Expansive views of the open sea, which are particularly beautiful during late afternoon 'Golden Hour' flights.
The right side (usually 'F' or 'K') is best for spotting the Bay Islands on a clear day. During the rainy season (October to January), this side often provides better visibility if the mainland mountains are obscured by storm clouds. Look for the distinct silhouette of Utila about 15 minutes before landing.
