Our Recommendation
8.4

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.7
🌊

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.
