Blue Mountain Peak
The highest point in Jamaica, often seen rising above the mist shortly after departure from Kingston.
North Coast Reefs
Vibrant turquoise waters and coral formations visible as the plane tracks along the coastline toward MBJ.
Rose Hall Great House
The iconic 18th-century Georgian mansion visible on the final approach into Sangster International.
Luminous Lagoon
The marshy waters of Glistening Waters near Falmouth, famous for its bioluminescence.
Book a window seat on the right for the most iconic Jamaican landscapes. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains and makes the coastal waters appear most vibrant. Keep your camera ready during the last 5 minutes of the flight for the low-altitude coastal pass.

Aerial view of the world's seventh-largest natural harbor and the Palisadoes strip.
Spanish Town
The historic former capital of Jamaica, featuring colonial architecture and the Old King's House.
Cockpit Country
