KIN → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers immediate views of the dramatic Blue Mountains in Jamaica and a superior perspective of the Florida coastline and Port Everglades upon arrival.
Blue Mountain Peak
Jamaica's highest point, often visible rising above the clouds shortly after departure.
Cayo Romano
Large, pristine islands off the Cuban coast featuring intricate sand patterns and coral reefs.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning white-sand seafloors and deep blue channels visible during the transition to Florida.
Port Everglades
A bird's-eye view of massive cruise ships and the Fort Lauderdale shoreline during the final approach.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Blue Mountains early in the flight. During the landing at FLL, this side typically offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic beaches and the high-rise buildings along the coast.
Kingston Harbour
One of the largest natural harbors in the world, visible immediately after takeoff from KIN.
Cuban Archipelago
Aerial views of the Jardines del Rey and the northern coastline of central Cuba.
Cay Sal Bank
Vivid turquoise waters of this isolated submerged carbonate platform between Cuba and Florida.
The Everglades
The expansive 'River of Grass' visible on the western horizon during the descent into South Florida.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare when looking toward the Caribbean. Keep an eye out for the distinct color change in the water as you cross the Florida Straits.
