Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the departure from Kingston Harbor, the turquoise archipelagos of northern Cuba, and the iconic Atlantic coastline of Florida, including potential views of the Kennedy Space Center.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇯🇲

Kingston Harbor

Stunning departure views of the Palisadoes sandspit, Port Royal, and the Blue Mountain range.

🏝️

Jardines del Rey

The spectacular turquoise reefs and white-sand keys along Cuba's northern Atlantic coast.

🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

A continuous view of the urban coastline from Miami and Fort Lauderdale up to West Palm Beach.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

On many northern approaches, the VAB and launch pads of Cape Canaveral are visible in the distance.

🏙️

Downtown Orlando

The skyline and numerous urban lakes of the City Beautiful during the final approach phase.

The right side is ideal for morning flights, though you may need to shield your eyes from the sun. It provides the best perspective of the Caribbean islands and the intricate reef systems north of Cuba. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes and the last 20 minutes of the flight for the most dramatic landmarks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Cayman Trench

Aerial views of the deep, dark blue waters marking one of the Caribbean's deepest points.

🇨🇺

Zapata Peninsula

The wetlands and remote southern coastline of central Cuba as the flight crosses the island.

💧

Lake Okeechobee

Florida's largest freshwater lake, visible as a massive circular 'inland sea' during the descent.

🐊

The Everglades

The vast, shimmering river of grass extending toward the Gulf of Mexico.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. It is also the better side for viewing the interior lake systems of Central Florida as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at MCO.
