GUA → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from La Aurora Airport (Guatemala City) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the volcanic landscape on departure, the stunning turquoise waters of the Caribbean coast, and a panoramic approach over the Florida Keys and the Atlantic shoreline.
Volcán de Agua
A stunningly symmetrical volcanic peak that dominates the landscape south of La Aurora Airport.
Belize Barrier Reef
Distant views of the turquoise atolls and the second-largest coral reef system in the world.
Riviera Maya
The vibrant blue waters and coastline of Cozumel and the Yucatan Peninsula's eastern shore.
Florida Keys
A spectacular view of the island chain and the Overseas Highway during the descent toward Fort Lauderdale.
Port Everglades
Clear views of the massive cruise ships and industrial port just moments before landing at FLL.
For morning flights, the right side provides the best lighting for photography of the Yucatan coast and the Florida Keys. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coral reefs and the South Florida coastline.
Fuego and Acatenango
Aerial view of the active Fuego volcano and its twin Acatenango shortly after departing Guatemala City.
Petén Rainforest
The dense, lush canopy of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve stretching across northern Guatemala.
The Everglades
The vast 'River of Grass' wetlands visible as the aircraft crosses into the Florida peninsula.
Sunset Horizons
Ideal seating for late afternoon flights to catch the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico.
Sit on the left if you are on an evening flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun during the Caribbean crossing. It is also the best side to spot the smoking peak of Volcán de Fuego if the flight path tracks slightly east on departure.
