Guanacaste Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged Pacific bays and white sand beaches of Northern Costa Rica immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Fonseca
The scenic tri-national body of water where the borders of El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua meet.
Gulf of Mexico Sunset
On afternoon flights, the left side enjoys a front-row seat to the sun setting over the open ocean.
