Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of Caribbean geography, transitioning from the deep Atlantic to the breathtaking turquoise waters of the Bahamas and the iconic shoreline of Miami Beach.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the open ocean with potential sightings of the northernmost Lesser Antilles islands.

🇵🇷

Puerto Rico North Coast

Bird's-eye view of the northern coastline of Puerto Rico and the city of San Juan.

🏝️

Turks and Caicos

The stunning contrast of white sand beaches and neon-blue reefs surrounding these low-lying islands.

🇧🇸

Exuma Archipelago

The world-famous turquoise sandbars and emerald cays of the Bahamas stretching across the ocean.

🏖️

Miami Beach

A prime view of the iconic Art Deco hotels, white sand beaches, and the turquoise Biscayne Bay on final approach.

The right side is essential for the 'Bahamas Blue' effect; the transition from deep water to shallow reef is most dramatic here. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing and fly in the morning to have the sun at your back, illuminating the turquoise waters below. Look for the Berry Islands just before the descent starts.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Demerara Estuary

Aerial view of the silt-rich brown waters of the Demerara River meeting the blue Atlantic Ocean.

🇩🇴

Hispaniola Peaks

Distant views of the rugged mountain ranges and interior landscapes of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

🧿

Caribbean Basin

Crossing over the deep, dark blue waters of the Caribbean Sea's eastern basins.

🐊

Florida Everglades

Vast, sprawling wetlands and marshy patterns visible during the final descent into Miami from the west.

🏢

Miami Downtown

A view of the high-rise cluster of the Miami financial district and suburban sprawl.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is particularly good for viewing the vast Florida Everglades if the pilot utilizes a western landing pattern. Keep an eye out for the muddy Demerara River right after takeoff from Georgetown.
