MIA → MHH
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Leonard M Thompson International Airport (Marsh Harbor)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Miami skyline and South Beach immediately after takeoff, followed by exceptional views of the turquoise Bahamian banks and private cays like Castaway Cay.
Miami Skyline
Breathtaking views of Downtown Miami, the Brickell financial district, and the Port of Miami.
South Beach
A perfect bird's-eye view of the iconic Art Deco district and the sandy expanse of South Beach.
Stiltsville
Spot the historic wooden houses standing on pilings in the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay.
Castaway Cay
Disney's private island is often clearly visible with its distinct landing strip and turquoise lagoon.
Great Abaco Shoreline
Detailed views of the jagged limestone coastline and hidden coves as the plane descends into Marsh Harbor.
Request a window seat on the right for the most dramatic departure photos of Miami. This side is also best for spotting the smaller cays and private islands dotting the route to Great Abaco.
Florida Gold Coast
Vibrant views of North Miami and the Fort Lauderdale shoreline during the initial climb.
The Gulf Stream
Watch the deep indigo of the Gulf Stream contrast sharply with the pale turquoise of the Bahama Bank.
Grand Bahama Island
Aerial perspectives of the southern coastline and the industrial area near Freeport.
The Little Bahama Bank
Mesmerizing swirling sand patterns and shallow coral heads visible through crystal-clear water.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, enhancing the saturation of the turquoise water. Look out for the distinct 'drop-off' where the ocean floor plunges into the deep Atlantic trench.
