MCO → KIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Bahamas' stunning turquoise waters, the rugged terrain of eastern Cuba, and the iconic Blue Mountains of Jamaica during the descent into Kingston.
Florida Space Coast
Aerial views of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center shortly after departure from Orlando.
The Bahamas Arcs
Vibrant turquoise waters and coral formations of the Great Bahama Bank and the Exuma Cays.
Eastern Cuba
A cross-country transit over Cuba, featuring the agricultural landscapes and mountains of the Holguín region.
Blue Mountains
Jamaica's highest mountain range, often shrouded in mist, visible during the final descent into Kingston.
Book a window seat on the left (port) side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the best views of the Caribbean archipelagos. Look out for the distinct contrast between the deep Atlantic blue and the shallow turquoise banks near the Bahamas.
The Everglades
The vast, shimmering wetlands of Southern Florida stretching toward the horizon.
Straits of Florida
The deep blue waters separating the Florida Keys from the northern coast of Cuba.
Central Cuban Coast
Views of the Jardines del Rey archipelago and the keys off Cuba's northern shore.
Kingston Harbour
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest natural harbors and the Palisadoes spit on final approach.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. Watch for the 'shadow' of the clouds on the shallow reefs as you pass the Cuban coastline. On the final approach into KIN, keep your eyes peeled for the historic town of Port Royal at the tip of the harbor.
