St. Johns River
Observe the winding, dark waters of Florida's longest river as it snakes through the northern landscape.
Lake Okeechobee
The massive 'Inland Sea' of Florida is often visible to the west during the mid-flight segment.
The Everglades
The 'River of Grass' presents a unique patchwork of wetlands and sawgrass prairies on the approach to MIA.
Suburban Sprawl
Witness the incredible geometric grid patterns of Hialeah and West Miami during the final approach.
The right side (starboard) is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Everglades. It offers a better view of the Florida interior and the massive Lake Okeechobee. If the plane approaches MIA from the west, you will get an excellent look at the vast, uninhabited wetlands.
