MIAMDE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior departure view of the Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay, followed by a stunning perspective of the high Andean peaks during the approach into the Rionegro plateau.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Miami Skyline

Uninterrupted views of Downtown Miami, Brickell, and the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Cuban Archipelago

Aerial views of the Archipiélago de los Canarreos and the southern coastline of Cuba depending on the air corridor.

🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward the Panama Canal.

⛰️

Central Cordillera

Dramatic views of the towering Central Andes mountain range as the plane maneuvers for landing at MDE.

For morning flights, the left side avoids the harshest direct sunlight. During the final 20 minutes of flight, the left side provides the most dramatic views of the high-altitude terrain surrounding the airport. Ensure your window is clean for the Miami departure photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🐊

Florida Everglades

View the vast, intricate network of wetlands and 'River of Grass' in South Florida during departure.

🌳

Darien Gap

The dense, impenetrable jungle spanning the border of Panama and Colombia, one of the most remote places on Earth.

🏞️

Cauca River Valley

The lush, green landscape of the Antioquia region and the winding Cauca River as you descend into Colombia.

🌄

Western Cordillera

Views of the Western range of the Andes as the aircraft begins its southern approach into the valley.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Gulf of Uraba. Keep an eye out for the transition from the Caribbean Sea to the dense tropical canopy of the Choco region as you cross the South American coastline.
