LRM β YHZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Casa De Campo International Airport (La Romana) to Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (Halifax)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the turquoise Bahamian archipelagos, the intricate barrier islands of the US East Coast, and the distinctive hook of Cape Cod before arrival in Nova Scotia.
The Bahamas & Exumas
Gaze down at the surreal turquoise water and white sand cays of the Exuma chain and Eleuthera shortly after departure.
Turks and Caicos
Spot the shallow Caicos Bank, a massive limestone plateau underwater that creates a vibrant neon blue hue.
The Outer Banks
See the thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands, including Cape Hatteras and its famous lighthouse.
Cape Cod & Islands
A clear view of the distinctive 'arm' of Massachusetts, including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket on approach to the north.
Bay of Fundy
Observe the dramatic coastline of the Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tidal range in the world, just before crossing into Nova Scotia.
For the best visibility of the Bahamian reefs, choose a morning flight when the sun is behind you (to the East). This prevents glare on the window and illuminates the shallow seabed. Keep an eye out for the 'tongue of the ocean'βa deep blue trench surrounded by turquoise flats.
SamanΓ‘ Peninsula
Immediately after takeoff, view the lush mountainous terrain and secluded bays of the Dominican Republic's northern coast.
The Gulf Stream
Watch the deep indigo blue of the Gulf Stream current as it cuts through the North Atlantic.
Nova Scotia South Shore
On the final descent, enjoy views of the rugged, forested coastline and the countless small islands of the Atlantic coast.
Halifax Harbour
If the approach is from the south, you will see one of the world's deepest and largest natural ice-free harbors.
The right side is ideal for sunrise views if you are on an early morning flight. During winter months, this side provides a great perspective of the vast, moody North Atlantic. Upon arrival in Halifax, this side often sees the urban landscape and the Citadel hill depending on the runway in use.
