Miami Beach & Key Biscayne
Aerial views of the iconic South Beach shoreline and the coastal Atlantic waters immediately after departure.
The Exuma Cays
Vibrant turquoise water and intricate sand patterns of the Great Bahama Bank and the Exuma archipelago.
Northern Hispaniola
The rugged mountains of the Cordillera Central and the lush northern coastline of the Dominican Republic.
The Leeward Islands
Distant but visible peaks of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc as the flight parallels the eastern Caribbean.
Trinidad's Northern Range
Dense, emerald-green rainforest peaks that dominate the final descent into Piarco International.
Book a window seat on the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. This side is ideal for spotting the vibrant transition from the shallow Bahamian banks to the deep Atlantic trench. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after takeoff for the best reef views and again during the final 20 minutes for the lush Trinidadian mountains.

The Everglades
Depending on the takeoff runway, views of the vast river of grass and Florida's unique wetlands.
Tiburon Peninsula
Views of the southern reaches of Haiti and the Caribbean Sea coastline during the mid-flight segment.
Venezuelan Coastline
The mountains of the Paria Peninsula often appear on the horizon as the flight nears its destination.
Gulf of Paria
A view of the busy shipping lanes and the industrial western coastline of Trinidad near Port of Spain.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Gulf of Paria. While it offers more open water than the left, it provides the best chance to see the South American continent (Venezuela) on clear days. During the rainy season (June-December), this side often provides dramatic views of towering Caribbean thunderheads.
