Seat on the left (A/B) for the best 'Alpine Glow' during morning departures. For the arrival into PUJ, the left side typically looks inland over the island's lush terrain and Higuey before turning to reveal the coast. Ensure your window is clean as the mid-Atlantic sun can highlight scratches during the long westward trek.

The right side (K/L) avoids the direct sun for much of the westward flight, making it easier to look out without glare. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, you may spot the rugged coastline of Brittany. During arrival, this side offers views of the vast Atlantic horizon and the initial break of the reef line.
