Space Coast Horizons
Distant views of the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the Banana River as the flight banks east.
Grand Bahama Island
The southern coastline of Grand Bahama, including the industrial and residential areas of Freeport.
Little Bahama Bank
The most iconic view of the trip, where the ocean floor rises to meet stunningly bright, shallow turquoise water.
The Marls
An incredible labyrinth of mangroves, tidal creeks, and wetlands that serve as a bonefishing paradise.
Marsh Harbor Town
A panoramic view of the sailing capital of the Bahamas, including the bustling marinas and the 'Snappa's' waterfront area.
The right side is essential for seeing the classic 'Bahamas Blue' as you cross the bank. Afternoon flights provide excellent natural lighting on the shallow waters. Look for the distinct texture of 'The Marls' which looks like an abstract painting from 10,000 feet.

Orlando Lake Districts
Aerial views of the suburban sprawl and numerous circular lakes surrounding Lake Nona upon departure.
Florida Coastline
A cross-section of the Indian River Lagoon and the barrier islands near Melbourne or Vero Beach.
The Gulf Stream
The visible boundary where the deep cobalt blue of the Gulf Stream current meets the lighter Atlantic waters.
Treasure Cay
On approach, view the famous crescent-shaped white sand beach and the turquoise waters of the northern Abacos.
Green Turtle Cay
A clear view of the historic loyalist settlement and the surrounding reef systems during the final descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. It offers the best perspective of the outer cays north of Marsh Harbor during the landing pattern. Keep your camera ready as you descend past 5,000 feet for the best clarity of the reef structures.
