Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐊

The Everglades

A vast 'River of Grass' stretches out toward the Gulf of Mexico shortly after departing the Florida coast.

🏛️

Havana Cityscape

Fly past the historic Cuban capital, easily identifiable by its dense urban layout, the Capitolio, and the Malecon.

🌴

Isla de la Juventud

Pass over the western edge of Cuba's largest southern island, known for its unique pine forests and citrus groves.

🤿

The Bay Islands

Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters surrounding Roatán and Utila, which sit atop the world's second-largest barrier reef.

🌄

Sula Valley

The broad, fertile valley opens up during the approach, framed by the impressive Sierra del Merendón mountain range.

The absolute highlight of this route is the descent near the Bay Islands; keep your camera ready for the turquoise reef patterns. On clear days, Havana is perfectly visible from this side, providing a rare and detailed look at the city from above.

🌊

Biscayne Bay

Aerial views of the crystal clear waters and the Miami skyline immediately after takeoff from MIA.

🏝️

Varadero Peninsula

Often visible as you cross the northern coast of Cuba, showing off long white sand beaches and resorts.

⛰️

Nombre de Dios Range

As you enter Honduran airspace, witness the lush, jagged peaks of the coastal mountains rising from the sea.

🚢

Puerto Cortés

A glimpse of Central America's largest and most important seaport just before the final descent into the Sula Valley.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Look for the distinct blue-to-green water transitions as the plane crosses the Florida Reef Tract and the Caribbean Shelf.
