JFK → SAP
Which side of the plane to sit from John F Kennedy International Airport (New York) to Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (San Pedro Sula)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of geographic landmarks, including the US East Coast, the Florida peninsula from a distance, and the dramatic mountain ranges surrounding San Pedro Sula upon arrival.
NYC & Jersey Shore
Glimpses of the Manhattan skyline and the structured coastline of New Jersey immediately after departure.
The Outer Banks
Clear views of the thin, sandy barrier islands stretching along the coast of North Carolina.
Florida Gold Coast
The sparkling urban sprawl of Miami and the upper Florida Keys as the flight heads toward the Caribbean.
Sierra de Omoa
Lush, cloud-covered mountain peaks that dominate the landscape during the final descent into the Sula Valley.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the US coastline. For the approach into SAP, this side provides a stunning view of the Merendón mountain range. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains during the steep descent.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean during the initial hours of the flight.
Bahamian Cays
Vibrant turquoise water patterns and tiny coral islands visible while passing east of the Bahamas.
Eastern Cuba
Aerial perspectives of the rural landscapes and coastline of eastern Cuban provinces.
Caribbean Shipping
Spot large cargo vessels and cruise ships navigating the busy lanes toward the Gulf of Honduras.
Choose this side for morning flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic. It is also the better side for observing the unique 'shallows' and color transitions of the Caribbean Sea near the islands.
