Costa Verde
Stunning views of the lush green mountains meeting the Atlantic Ocean along the Brazilian coastline.
Amazon River Meanders
Spectacular sightings of the winding Amazon tributaries that look like silver snakes through the jungle.
The Bahamas
Incredible turquoise water patterns and white sand banks of the Exuma and Andros island chains.
Cape Canaveral
Clear views of the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the distinct Florida coastline.
Charleston Harbor
The historic South Carolina coastline and the intricate network of the Lowcountry sea islands.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Ensure your window is clear for the Caribbean crossing, as the water colors are vibrant between 10 AM and 2 PM. If flying overnight, look out for the bright bioluminescent-like glow of coastal cities as you enter US airspace over Florida and the Carolinas.

São Paulo Metropolis
Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl of the southern hemisphere's largest city immediately after takeoff.
Amazon Rainforest
Vast stretches of the dense, green canopy extending toward the horizon across the Brazilian interior.
Magdalena River
Glances of the major Colombian waterway and the distant silhouettes of the Andes Mountains.
Gulf of Mexico
The deep blue waters of the Gulf as the flight crosses from the Caribbean toward the Florida Panhandle.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The rolling peaks and ridges of the southern Appalachian range during the descent into Charlotte.
Choose this side if you want to avoid the direct morning sun on northbound daytime flights. It is particularly good for sunset views over the Amazon if you are on a late afternoon departure. Watch for the lights of the Florida Gulf Coast cities like Tampa and Tallahassee during night flights.
