Search flights from HAV to NAS
Playas del Este
The long stretches of white sand beaches east of Havana visible during the initial climb.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning, neon-turquoise shallow waters that create a marbled effect from the air.
Andros Island
The largest Bahamian island, featuring vast mangrove estuaries and hidden blue holes.
Tongue of the Ocean
The dramatic visual drop-off where shallow turquoise banks meet the deep navy abyss.
Cable Beach
Luxury resorts and coral reefs lining the western shores of New Providence Island.
This is the scenic winner. Mid-day flights provide the highest sun, which eliminates glare and makes the turquoise water colors pop. Ensure you have your camera ready about 15 minutes into the flight as you cross the Bahama Banks.
Book Hotels in Nassau
Havana Skyline
Aerial views of the Malecon and the dense urban grid of Old Havana during departure.
Morro Castle
The historic 16th-century fortress guarding the entrance to Havana Bay.
Straits of Florida
The deep indigo waters where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Paradise Island
Clear views of the Atlantis Resort and its iconic Royal Towers during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you want the best view of Havana's colonial architecture and harbor immediately after takeoff. Afternoon flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh southern sun reflecting off the water.
