Biscayne Bay
Emerald waters and mangrove islands just south of Miami during departure.
The Exuma Cays
A stunning string of pearls featuring world-famous turquoise water and white sand bars.
Hispaniola Coast
Distant mountainous views of the Dominican Republic's rugged northern coastline.
San Juan Coastline
Detailed views of Puerto Rico’s northern shore, including the historic El Morro fort if the path is tight.
Frederiksted Pier
The iconic cruise ship pier and the lush West End of St. Croix as the plane turns for final approach.
This is the premier side for photography. Book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are best to avoid the sun's glare, allowing for clear views of the Bahamian sand patterns and the Puerto Rican landscape.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Atlantic. While much of the mid-flight is open ocean, the descent offers a unique perspective of the reef systems north of Christiansted.
