MIABLA

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the turquoise Bahamian archipelagos shortly after takeoff and the stunning islands of Mochima National Park during the final descent into Barcelona.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Miami Beach & South Beach

Aerial view of the iconic coastline and Art Deco district immediately after departure from MIA.

🇧🇸

The Exuma Cays

Vibrant turquoise waters and intricate sandbars of the central Bahamas visible in the first hour of flight.

🇩🇴

Dominican Republic Coast

Views of the northern coastline and the rugged mountains of the Cordillera Central in the distance.

🌊

The Tongue of the Ocean

A deep-water trench in the Bahamas where the water transitions from bright teal to deep navy blue.

🏝️

Mochima National Park

Spectacular islands and crystalline bays just east of Barcelona during the final approach phase.

Book a window seat on the left (A) for morning flights to enjoy the best lighting on the Caribbean islands without the glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes for the dramatic coastal views of Venezuela.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🐊

Everglades Edge

The transition between the Miami urban sprawl and the protected wetlands of the Everglades.

🇧🇸

Andros Island

The largest island in the Bahamas, known for its extensive mangrove forests and blue holes.

🇭🇹

Haitian Highlands

Distant views of the mountainous western portion of Hispaniola across the Windward Passage.

🛳️

Caribbean Shipping Lanes

Spotting cargo vessels and cruise ships navigating the deep waters between the Greater Antilles and South America.

🏙️

Barcelona & Puerto La Cruz

A bird's-eye view of the industrial landscape, refineries, and urban layout of the Anzoategui state capital.

The right side (K or F) is preferable for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. It also provides a better view of the city of Barcelona itself if the plane circles before landing.
