MAO → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Eduardo Gomes International Airport (Manaus) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this northbound journey, offering unparalleled views of the Bahamian archipelago's turquoise waters and a stunning approach over Miami's iconic coastline and skyline.
Rio Negro
Dramatic views of the dark tea-colored waters of the Rio Negro surrounding the city of Manaus.
Guiana Highlands
Rugged terrain and dense jungle canopies stretching across the northern border of Brazil.
The Bahamas
Breathtaking views of the Great Bahama Bank where shallow turquoise waters meet deep ocean trenches.
Miami Skyline
A front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Brickell and Downtown Miami during the final approach.
South Beach
Crystal clear views of the Atlantic coastline, the Port of Miami, and the iconic Art Deco district.
The right side is the 'money side' for arrival into MIA. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, making the vibrant blues of the Caribbean and Bahamas pop. Ensure you have your camera ready 30 minutes before landing.
Amazon Basin
Infinite views of the world's largest rainforest and the meandering Amazon River tributaries shortly after takeoff.
Venezuelan Tepuis
Distant glimpses of ancient, flat-topped table mountains near the horizon during the cruise phase.
Western Cuba
Aerial perspectives of the Cuban rural landscape and the northern coastline near Havana.
Florida Keys
The southern chain of islands and coral reefs as the flight crosses into U.S. airspace.
Sit on the left for better views of the deep Amazon interior during departure. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare, though sunset flights offer dramatic lighting over the Caribbean Sea.
