LRM → AUA
Which side of the plane to sit from Casa De Campo International Airport (La Romana) to Queen Beatrix International Airport (Oranjestad)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Caribbean vistas, the right side is generally preferred for the scenic departure over the Chavón River and the classic approach view of Aruba's turquoise western coastline and hotel strip.

Altos de Chavón
Immediate views of the Mediterranean-style village and the winding Chavón River valley just after lifting off from LRM.
Oranjestad Harbor
Aerial view of Aruba's capital, often featuring large cruise ships docked in the colorful port.
Palm & Eagle Beach
The famous high-rise hotel strip and some of the world's best beaches are visible during the descent into Queen Beatrix International.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'resort view' of Aruba. If the flight path approaches from the north, you will fly parallel to the western beaches. Mid-day flights provide the best lighting to see the vibrant transition from deep navy to bright turquoise water near the shore.

Isla Saona
Catch a glimpse of this protected nature reserve off the DR coast, famous for its white sand beaches and crystal clear shallow waters.
Caribbean Abyssal Plain
Deep blue views of the open Caribbean Sea as you transit between the Greater and Lesser Antilles.
Arikok National Park
View the rugged, desert-like northern coastline of Aruba with its dramatic limestone cliffs and crashing waves.
Look out shortly after takeoff for the silhouette of Isla Saona. On the final approach into Aruba, the left side sees the wild, undeveloped windward coast. Best viewed during morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare reflecting off the water.
