Which side of the plane to sit from Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston) to Providenciales Airport (Providenciales)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic coastal views of Jamaica's eastern tip and the iconic turquoise transition of the Caicos Bank upon arrival.
Kingston Harbour
Aerial view of the world's seventh-largest natural harbour and the narrow Palisadoes spit.
Portland Coastline
The lush, tropical scenery of Jamaica's northeast coast including the Blue Lagoon area.
Punta Maisi
The rugged easternmost tip of Cuba visible across the sea during the mid-flight cruise.
Chalk Sound
A stunning turquoise lagoon filled with hundreds of tiny limestone cays just before touchdown.
West Caicos
A bird's eye view of this uninhabited island and its surrounding pristine coral reef systems.
Sit on the right for the most spectacular views of the Turks and Caicos shallow banks. The color shift from dark indigo to electric turquoise in the final 10 minutes of flight is world-class. Ensure your camera is ready for the Chalk Sound area during the final approach into PLS.
Blue Mountain Peak
Early views of Jamaica's highest mountain range shortly after takeoff from Kingston.
Windward Passage
Crossing the historic maritime channel between the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola.
Great Inagua
Distant views of the southernmost Bahamian island known for its massive flamingo population.
Grace Bay Coastline
A glimpse of the world-famous white sand beaches on the north side of Providenciales during descent.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best shadows over the Blue Mountains. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'drop-off' where the ocean floor plunges from the shallow banks into the deep Atlantic trench.
