Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach and the vibrant turquoise waters of the North Sound upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏝️

Montego Bay Panorama

Excellent views of the Hip Strip and the lush tropical hills surrounding the airport.

🕳️

Cayman Trench

Visualizing the deep blue waters that sit above one of the deepest spots in the world's oceans.

🏖️

Seven Mile Beach

The quintessential view of the world-famous white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

🛥️

North Sound

A top-down view of the massive lagoon, including the famous Stingray City area.

🏗️

George Town

Bird's eye view of the capital city, its harbor, and the bustling financial district.

This is the premier side for this route. Sit toward the front or rear to keep the wing out of your photos of Seven Mile Beach. The flight usually enters Grand Cayman from the east, making the right side perfect for seeing the island's most famous landmarks during the descent.

🛫

MBJ Coastline

The plane often turns over the Caribbean Sea, giving a nice look back at the Montego Bay shoreline.

🌊

The Deep Blue

Expansive views of the Caribbean Sea and the dramatic color changes over submerged reefs.

🏘️

South Sound Views

An aerial perspective of the residential coastline and southern reefs of Grand Cayman during descent.

Choose this side if you want to avoid direct sunlight on afternoon flights. While less scenic during the approach, it offers a quieter view of the open ocean and the southern tip of the island.
