LRM → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Casa De Campo International Airport (La Romana) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, transitioning from the dramatic mountainous interior of Hispaniola to the world-famous turquoise shallows of the Bahamian archipelago and ending with the iconic Miami skyline.
Pico Duarte
Glimpses of the highest peak in the Caribbean within the Cordillera Central range.
Exuma Cays
An incredible 120-mile long string of cays featuring stunning contrasts between deep sapphire and neon-turquoise water.
Andros Island
The largest Bahamian island, visible for its intricate network of tidal creeks and the 'Tongue of the Ocean'.
Bimini Islands
The 'Gateway to the Bahamas,' appearing as a small, thin hook of land just 50 miles from the Florida coast.
Downtown Miami
Panoramic views of the Brickell skyline, the Port of Miami's cruise ships, and South Beach on standard arrival routes.
Choose the right side for morning and midday flights to avoid glare and see the Bahamian reefs in full brilliance. When approaching MIA, this side typically looks directly over the Port of Miami and the downtown skyscrapers if landing toward the west.
Haitian Highlands
Aerial perspectives of the rugged Massif de la Selle mountain range near the Dominican-Haitian border.
Old Bahama Channel
The deep blue expanse separating the Great Bahama Bank from the northern coast of Cuba.
The Everglades
Distinctive swamp patterns and water conservation areas visible if the plane loops west for a landing approach.
Coconut Grove
Views of Dinner Key Marina and the lush residential canopies of South Miami during the final descent.
The left side is the preferred choice for sunset views on late afternoon flights, as the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico to the west. It also offers better views of the Florida Keys if the flight path stays further south.
