MIA → BDA
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to L.F. Wade International International Airport (Bermuda)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Atlantic, the Right Side is preferred for the iconic approach into Bermuda, offering views of the famous South Shore beaches and the turquoise waters of Castle Harbour.
Key Biscayne
Aerial views of Bill Baggs State Park and the historic lighthouse just south of Miami.
Port of Miami
Watch the massive cruise ships docked or navigating the Government Cut channel.
Pink Sand Beaches
Stunning views of Bermuda's South Shore beaches, including the famous Horseshoe Bay, during descent.
Castle Harbour
Clear views of the turquoise lagoons and historic fortifications surrounding the airport approach.
The right side is superior for the 'postcard' arrival into Bermuda. Most flights approach from the southwest, placing the island's iconic pink sands and turquoise bays directly in your window. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the afternoon sun glare over the ocean.
Miami Skyline
Breathtaking views of Downtown Miami and the high-rises of Edgewater during initial climb.
Miami Beach
Aerial perspective of South Beach, the Art Deco district, and the sprawling coastline of Florida.
The Gulf Stream
The distinct deep blue boundary where the warm Gulf Stream current meets the Atlantic shelf.
North Shore Reefs
The intricate network of northern reefs surrounding Bermuda as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Florida coastline during departure. If the flight arrives from the northeast, you will get an excellent look at the historic town of St. George's. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut through the ocean's glare.
