The Jersey Shore
Views of the New Jersey coastline and Atlantic City during the initial southward climb.
Bahamian Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the reefs and cays of Eleuthera, Cat Island, and the Exumas approximately 2 hours into the flight.
Turks and Caicos
Crystal clear views of the shallow banks and coral atolls as you transit the Caribbean corridor.
Dominican Highlands
Visual of the lush, green Cordillera Oriental mountains during the descent into the island.
Casa de Campo
A bird's-eye view of the famous 'Teeth of the Dog' golf course and the Marina just moments before touchdown.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Bahamas' iconic water colors. Mid-day flights are best for the right side as the sun is high, reducing glare and making the turquoise water 'pop'. Watch for the transition from the deep Atlantic trench to the shallow Caribbean shelf.

NYC & Long Island
Immediate views of Queens, Brooklyn, and the southern beaches of Long Island upon departure from JFK.

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the flight duration.
Bayahibe Coast

Saona Island
Often visible in the distance to the southeast during the final approach maneuvers into LRM.
The left side is ideal for sunrise views on early morning departures from New York. During the landing phase, keep your camera ready as the plane banks toward the coast, revealing the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow coral reefs.
