North Sound & Stingray City
Aerial view of Grand Cayman's massive turquoise lagoon and the famous shallow sandbars of Stingray City.
Sister Islands
Clear sightlines of the narrow, limestone profiles of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac as you head northeast.
Cuba's North Coast
Panoramic views of the Sabana-Camaguey Archipelago and its pristine white-sand cays along the Cuban coastline.
Great Bahama Bank
Incredible patterns of shifting sand and electric blue water as the flight crosses the shallow Bahamian shelf.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Cayman Sister Islands about 15 minutes after takeoff. For afternoon flights, this side is preferred to avoid the direct tropical sun glare coming from the south. Keep your camera ready for the descent into NAS, as the transition from deep ocean to shallow bank is most striking on this side.

George Town Harbor
View the colorful capital of the Caymans and the coral reefs lining the southern coast of the island.
Central Cuban Landscape
A bird's-eye view of Cuba's agricultural heartland, featuring reservoirs, rolling hills, and rural towns.
Andros Island
Look for the complex network of mangrove swamps and 'bights' that carve through the largest island in the Bahamas.
Tongue of the Ocean
Witness the dramatic underwater cliff where the shallow turquoise water suddenly turns an ink-black deep blue.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun is high in the east, illuminating the Cuban terrain and Bahamian reefs. During the final approach into Nassau, watch for the distinct color change near Andros Island which marks the world-famous 'Tongue of the Ocean' deep-water trench.
