Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring iconic views of the New York City skyline upon departure, the vibrant turquoise reefs of the Bahamas during the mid-flight cruise, and the majestic Essequibo River delta on the approach into Guyana.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Breathtaking views of the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center if the flight departs to the north or west.

🏖️

Jersey Shore

A clear view of the long barrier islands and coastal inlets of New Jersey shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Bahamian Atolls

Stunning patterns of turquoise water and white sand banks as the flight passes the eastern edge of the Bahamas.

🛶

Essequibo River

View the massive scale of the Essequibo, the largest river in Guyana, featuring numerous jungle islands.

🌳

Guiana Shield Rainforest

Look down upon the dense, primary tropical rainforest that characterizes the interior of Guyana near the airport.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Caribbean islands. Try to sit in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the NYC skyline. Keep your window shade up approximately 2.5 hours after takeoff for the Bahamas and 20 minutes before landing for the river views.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the curvature of the Earth during the mid-flight cruise.

🚢

Atlantic Shipping Lanes

Spot large cargo vessels and cruise ships navigating the busy maritime corridors between North and South America.

🇬🇾

Demerara Coastline

Watch the transition from blue ocean to the silt-rich brown waters of the Atlantic meeting the Guyanese coast.

🏙️

Georgetown Suburbs

Aerial views of the coastal villages and agricultural plots east of the capital city during the final descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is the quieter side for sleeping due to the consistent ocean views, but be sure to look out about 20 minutes before landing to see the unique coastal geography where the rainforest meets the sea.
