MDE → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Jose Maria Córdova International Airport (Rio Negro) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Central Cordillera of the Andes upon departure, clearer views of the Caribbean islands like Jamaica and Cuba, and the iconic panorama of the Miami shoreline and downtown skyscrapers during the approach to MIA.

Central Andean Peaks
Expansive views of the high-altitude terrain and the Magdalena River valley, Colombia's most important waterway.
Caribbean Coastline
Catch glimpses of the vibrant turquoise waters near the northern Colombian coast and San Bernardo islands.
Central Cuba
Aerial perspective of the Cuban landscape, including its agricultural patterns and the beautiful southern keys.
Florida Keys
The stunning transition from deep ocean blue to shallow turquoise as the plane passes the Florida reef tract.
Miami Skyline
The ultimate view of South Beach, the Port of Miami, and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Miami during the final approach.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the right side for an afternoon flight to see the Florida coastline bathed in golden light. On approach to MIA, the right side usually provides the classic 'postcard' view of the city and beaches, especially when the aircraft is vectored for a landing from the east over the Atlantic.

Western Cordillera
Dramatic views of the rugged peaks and deep green valleys of the Colombian Andes shortly after takeoff from Rionegro.
Gulf of Uraba
Glance at the coastline where the Darien Gap meets the Caribbean Sea as the plane heads north.
Isle of Youth
Visible off the south coast of Cuba, this large island offers a unique perspective of the archipelago's geography.
The Everglades
Deep green wetlands and winding water channels of the Florida Everglades as the plane descends into the Miami area.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is also excellent for observing the vast, untouched wilderness of the Everglades during the final 20 minutes of the flight if the wind favors a landing from the west.
