MIAGEO

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views of the Bahamian archipelago's turquoise reefs and the dramatic approach into Georgetown over the Atlantic coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Miami Beach & Key Biscayne

Aerial views of the iconic South Beach shoreline and the historic Cape Florida Lighthouse shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Exuma Cays

Witness the stunning contrast of shallow turquoise waters and deep blue channels of the central Bahamas.

🌊

Turks and Caicos

A view of the dramatic underwater drop-offs at the edge of the Caicos Bank.

🇬🇾

Georgetown Coastline

The seawall and the dense urban layout of Guyana's capital as the plane aligns for landing.

🏙️

Stabroek Market

Look for the prominent clock tower of the historic iron market during the final descent.

Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the descent into GEO, the left side typically faces the city of Georgetown, offering a better view of the urban sprawl and the historic seawall. Ensure your window is clean to capture the vibrant blues of the Bahamas.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🌴

Florida Keys

Early views of the upper keys and the vast mangrove forests of Biscayne National Park.

🇧🇸

Andros Island

Views of the largest island in the Bahamas and its intricate network of tidal creeks.

🚢

Caribbean Shipping Lanes

Spot large cargo vessels and cruise ships navigating the deep waters between the islands.

🛶

Orinoco Delta Influence

As you approach Guyana, observe the sediment-heavy brown waters from the Orinoco River mixing with the ocean.

🌉

Demerara Harbour Bridge

A clear view of the long floating bridge crossing the Demerara River just before touchdown.

The right side (usually 'F' or 'K') is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight on afternoon flights. Keep a close eye on the water color changes as you cross from the Caribbean into South American airspace; the transition from bright blue to 'tea-colored' water signifies the proximity to the massive river systems of the Guianas.
