Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, including a spectacular view of the Florida Keys after takeoff and the iconic Farallones de Cali mountain peaks during the final descent.
The Everglades
Aerial perspective of the vast, unique wetlands of Southern Florida shortly after departure.
Florida Keys
Stunning views of the island chain and the transition from emerald to deep blue ocean water.
Cuban Coast
Clear views of the western Cuban coastline and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Western Cordillera
Direct views of the rugged Western Andes mountains as the plane enters the valley toward Cali.
Farallones de Cali
The dramatic, jagged blue peaks that overlook the city of Cali, providing a majestic backdrop for landing.
The right side is superior for avoiding direct sun glare on southward midday flights. For the best photos of the Farallones de Cali, sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain range during the final bank.
Miami Skyline
Excellent views of Downtown Miami and the bustling Port of Miami immediately after takeoff from MIA.
Central Cuba
Views of the rural landscapes and the southern coastline of Cuba as the flight transits the island.
Central Cordillera
As you enter Colombian airspace, the towering peaks of the Central Andes range are visible to the east.
Cauca River Valley
Lush, green agricultural landscapes and sugarcane plantations as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the descent into Cali, keep an eye out for the higher peaks of the Central Andes which often peek through the cloud layer.
