Ometepe Island
Stunning direct views of the twin volcanoes, Concepcion and Maderas, rising from the center of Lake Nicaragua.
Honduran Highlands
Fly over the lush, mountainous interior of Honduras with deep green valleys and rugged ridges.
Central Cuba
Cross the island of Cuba, often seeing the patchwork of agricultural fields and the northern cays like Cayo Coco.
Florida Keys
Witness the vibrant transition of water colors from deep blue to neon turquoise over the Straits of Florida.
Miami Skyline
On a typical approach to Runway 8R or 9, enjoy a panoramic view of downtown Miami and the Port of Miami.
The right side is the 'volcano side' during the first 30 minutes. Mid-day flights provide the best light for the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys. If the wind is from the east, you will get a perfect view of the city skyline during the final approach sequence.
