Which side of the plane to sit from La Chinita International Airport (Maracaibo) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Venezuelan coastline at departure and the iconic Miami skyline, beaches, and the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys during the arrival sequence.
Paraguaná Peninsula
See the distinctive hammerhead shape of Falcon state's coastline and the Médanos de Coro sand dunes.
ABC Islands
On clear days, catch glimpses of Aruba and Curaçao as you head north across the Caribbean.
Cuban Archipelagos
Fly over the Jardines del Rey, featuring white sand keys and vibrant coral reef systems.
Port of Miami
Get a bird's-eye view of the world's cruise capital and the massive ships docked at the terminal.
Miami Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Brickell financial district and the high-rises along Biscayne Bay during descent.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is significantly better for photography during the landing approach, as it usually faces the Miami Beach coastline and the downtown skyline.
Guajira Peninsula
View the northernmost tip of South America where the Colombian desert meets the Caribbean Sea.
Open Caribbean Vistas
Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean waters, often dotted with cargo ships and tankers.
Western Cuba
Aerial perspective of the Pinar del Río region and the lush Sierra de los Órganos mountains.
The Everglades
As you approach Florida, see the vast river of grass and the unique ecosystem of the southern wetlands.
Gulf Sunset
On afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico.
The left side is ideal for afternoon departures to witness the sunset over the sea. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the rugged, arid terrain of the Colombian border region.
