Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (Basse Terre)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous panoramic tour of the Caribbean's most famous archipelagos, culminating in a spectacular volcanic approach.
Miami Skyline
A perfect view of the South Beach shoreline and the skyscrapers of Brickell immediately after takeoff.
Cuban Cays
The white-sand islands and shimmering lagoons of the Jardines del Rey archipelago along the Cuban north coast.
Hispaniola Coast
The rugged northern coastline and the lush mountains of the Dominican Republic stretching toward the sea.
San Juan Forts
The historic stone walls of Castillo San Felipe del Morro guarding the entrance to San Juan harbor.
Nevis Peak
A world-class view of the towering 3,232-foot volcanic cone on the sister island of Nevis during arrival.
Selecting a seat on the right provides the most consistent landmarks. For the best experience, choose a flight departing before noon to capture the vibrant blues of the water. During the final approach into Basseterre, this side offers an unmatched view of the Narrows and the majestic island of Nevis.
Eleuthera Coast
The striking contrast where the deep Atlantic meets the shallow, bright turquoise Caribbean banks.
Grand Turk Island
A clear view of the easternmost Turks and Caicos islands and their surrounding coral structures.
St. Eustatius
The prominent silhouette of 'The Quill' volcano appearing just off the wing as you begin your final descent.
This side is best for afternoon departures to avoid the harsh tropical sun. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes before landing for a unique perspective of the smaller Leeward Islands dotting the horizon to the north.
