Kingston Harbour
A perfect aerial view of the world's seventh-largest natural harbor and the historic sandspit of the Palisadoes.
Treasure Beach
The rugged and scenic coastline of Saint Elizabeth parish, known for its dramatic cliffs and dark sand beaches.
South Sound Reefs
Breathtaking views of the barrier reefs and crystalline waters on the southern edge of Grand Cayman during descent.
On morning flights, the left side offers the best lighting for photography as the sun is positioned to the east. It is the optimal side for viewing the historic Port Royal area shortly after takeoff. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for the clearest view of the Grand Cayman reef systems during the final three minutes of flight.

Blue Mountains
Distant but majestic views of Jamaica's highest peaks rising above the clouds to the north.
Cockpit Country
The unique and rugged limestone karst topography of central Jamaica's protected interior.
Negril Seven Mile Beach
A stunning perspective of Jamaica's most iconic white-sand beach as the aircraft leaves the island.
The right side is ideal for afternoon departures to avoid the harsh southern sun. It provides a better vantage point for the interior mountain ranges of Jamaica. When approaching Owen Roberts International Airport, look out for the North Sound's shallow waters, though these are often further away than the features visible from the left side.
