Which side of the plane to sit from Mayaguana Airport (Mayaguana) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Exuma Cays, a world-renowned string of over 365 islands and cays known for their striking contrast between white sand and vivid turquoise water.
Search flights from MYG to NAS
Exuma Chain
The most scenic part of the trip, featuring a near-continuous string of tiny, uninhabited cays and private islands.
Norman's Cay
Look for the remains of a submerged drug-smuggling plane in the shallow waters near the island's southern end.
Staniel Cay Area
Spot the brilliant sandbars and shallow channels surrounding the world-famous Pig Beach and Thunderball Grotto.
Nassau Coastline
On final approach, get a clear view of Paradise Island, the iconic Atlantis Resort, and the cruise ship terminal.
Ship Channel Cay
The northern gateway to the Exumas, featuring distinct swirling sand patterns visible from high altitude.
The Right Side is the clear winner for the Exuma Cays. Use a polarized lens for photography to cut through the water's surface reflection. Flights departing in the afternoon provide the best lighting for the turquoise colors of the northern cays.

Witness the massive underwater plateau where depths are so shallow the white sand creates a glowing neon-blue water effect.
Long Island
View the southern tip of this 80-mile long island, known for its dramatic eastern cliffs and shallow western flats.
Tongue of the Ocean
See the sharp color transition where the shallow bank drops off into a 6,000-foot deep oceanic trench.
Elizabeth Harbour
Look for the bustling waters near Great Exuma and George Town, a popular hub for international sailors.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for 'blue holes'—dark circular patches in the shallow water that indicate deep underwater caves.
