MIA โ BZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (Belize City)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the spectacular Belize Barrier Reef and the famous cayes during the descent into Belize City.
Florida Keys
Aerial perspective of the upper island chain and the turquoise waters of the Florida Straits shortly after departure.
Western Cuba
Scenic views of the Pinar del Rรญo province, including the lush landscapes of the Viรฑales Valley region.
Belize Barrier Reef
Unparalleled views of the world's second-largest coral reef system with vibrant turquoise and deep blue gradients.
Ambergris Caye
Spot the bustling town of San Pedro and the white sandy beaches of Belize's largest island.
Caye Caulker
Look for 'The Split' and the laid-back island layout as the plane begins its final approach into BZE.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography lighting over the reef. Sit a few rows behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coral formations and islands during the descent.
The Everglades
A clear view of the 'River of Grass' and the unique wetland ecosystems of Southern Florida immediately after takeoff.
Cape San Antonio
The westernmost tip of Cuba, featuring a historic lighthouse and pristine coastal nature reserves.
Gulf of Mexico
Vast ocean vistas and potential sightings of cargo ships traversing the shipping lanes between the US and Central America.
Belizean Mainland
Dense tropical rainforests and winding river systems like the Belize River as you approach the runway.
This side is excellent for seeing the Everglades right after takeoff from MIA. During the winter months, afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare, so bring sunglasses or a window shade.
