MIAGRU

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most diverse scenery, ranging from the Florida Keys and the northern coast of Cuba to the deep, winding tributaries of the western Amazon Basin and the dramatic Serra da Mantiqueira mountains upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🐊

The Everglades

Aerial perspective of the vast river of grass and the Florida Keys stretching toward the horizon.

🇨🇺

Cuban Coastline

Clear views of Havana and the rugged northern limestone cliffs of the island when following the western corridor.

🌳

Amazon Rainforest

Hours of flight over an endless green canopy, punctuated by the massive, winding brown ribbons of the Amazon's western tributaries.

⛰️

Serra da Mantiqueira

The rolling hills and sharp peaks of the Brazilian highlands as the aircraft descends into the state of Sao Paulo.

Select the right side for sunset views during late afternoon departures from MIA. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Caribbean islands. During the day, this side provides better views of the Amazon's interior river systems.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Biscayne Bay

Stunning views of the Miami coastline, Key Biscayne, and the coral reefs of the Atlantic right after takeoff.

🇧🇸

The Bahamas

Vibrant turquoise waters and the distinct patterns of the Great Bahama Bank's sandbars visible to the east.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the open ocean and the transition of the Intertropical Convergence Zone clouds near the equator.

🏙️

Sao Paulo Suburbs

Dense urban sprawl and the industrial landscape of the Guarulhos region during the final approach.

On overnight flights, the left side is the place to be for a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean as you approach the Brazilian coast. It is generally quieter for sleeping as it avoids the afternoon sun during the early stages of southbound flights.
