NYC Skyline
Potential views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge shortly after takeoff.
The Outer Banks
Occasional sightings of the thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina depending on the flight path.
The Caicos Bank
A stunning transition from deep navy ocean to shallow, neon-turquoise water as you cross the reef line.
Grace Bay Beach
Aerial views of the world-famous 12-mile stretch of white sand and luxury resorts during the approach.
Chalk Sound
Look for the brilliant, milky-blue lagoon dotted with hundreds of tiny rocky cays just before landing.
The descent is the star of this route. Sit on the right side for the most vibrant water colors. For the best photography, choose a midday flight when the sun is high, which makes the turquoise water appear most translucent and vivid.

Atlantic Ocean
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic throughout the majority of the flight.
North and Middle Caicos
Visuals of the lush, less-developed islands and expansive mangrove systems during descent.
Sunrise Views
For early morning departures, the left side offers a front-row seat to the sun rising over the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat. During the final approach into PLS, look for the intricate reef systems surrounding the northern edges of the Caicos islands.
