Which side of the plane to sit from Leonard M Thompson International Airport (Marsh Harbor) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the mesmerizing turquoise patterns of the Little Bahama Bank and a continuous view of the Grand Bahama coastline before making landfall over the Florida Gold Coast.
Little Bahama Bank
Incredible patterns of white sand and shallow turquoise water that look like abstract art from above.
Grand Bahama Island
The flight often tracks along the southern coast of Grand Bahama, offering views of Freeport and its industrial harbor.
West End
The westernmost point of the Bahamas, where the turquoise banks meet the deep Gulf Stream.
Florida Gold Coast
Spectacular views of Palm Beach and Boca Raton as the aircraft crosses the Florida coastline from the Atlantic.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the shallow reefs and sandbars. Look for the distinct 'line' in the ocean where the warm Gulf Stream current meets the Bahamian waters. This side also typically provides a better view of the Florida shoreline during the descent into FLL.
Great Abaco Shoreline
Aerial views of the southern reaches of Abaco and the surrounding cays immediately after takeoff.
Castaway Cay
Spot Disney's private island (Gorda Cay) with its distinct cruise pier and turquoise lagoons to the south.
The Deep Channel
Watch the dramatic color change as the shallow bank drops off into the deep indigo waters of the Northwest Providence Channel.
Miami Skyline
On clear days during the final descent, the distant high-rises of Sunny Isles and Miami Beach are visible to the south.
Sit on the left for the best chance to spot private resort islands and the northern reaches of the Miami urban sprawl. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without window glare.
