Which side of the plane to sit from Indianapolis International Airport (Indianapolis) to Sangster International Airport (Montego Bay)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Florida coastline and the iconic turquoise waters of the Caribbean, including a better angle for the final approach over the coral reefs into Montego Bay.
Nashville Basin
A clear view of the Cumberland River and the sprawling urban landscape of Music City.
Florida Keys
The stunning string of emerald islands and the Overseas Highway stretching toward Key West.
Cuban Coastline
Aerial views of the northern Cuban cays and the rugged terrain of central Cuba during the overflight.
Montego Bay Reefs
Breathtaking views of the vibrant coral reef systems and turquoise lagoons just seconds before touchdown.
Caribbean Sea
Expansive vistas of the deep Caribbean blue transitioning into the neon shallows of the Jamaican shelf.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. It provides the best views of the Florida Keys and the most photogenic angle of the Montego Bay coastline on approach. Aim for an afternoon flight to catch the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico to your west.
Indianapolis Skyline
An immediate view of the downtown skyline and the Lucas Oil Stadium shortly after takeoff.
Appalachian Foothills
Distant views of the rolling green ridges of the Southern Appalachian mountains over Kentucky and Tennessee.
Florida Space Coast
On a standard southeasterly track, you can often spot the Cape Canaveral area and the Atlantic shoreline.
The Bahamas
Vibrant shades of blue and white from the Great Bahama Bank visible in the distance to the east.
Blue Mountains
Jamaica's highest mountain range appearing as a lush, misty backdrop during your descent into the island.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Florida coastline, as the contrast between the land and the deep Atlantic blue is striking.
