Paradise Island
Aerial view of Atlantis Resort and the white sand beaches of Nassau immediately after takeoff.
Great Bahama Bank
Vibrant turquoise waters and intricate sand patterns visible while climbing out of the Bahamas.
Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras, often visible mid-flight.
Chesapeake Bay
Views of the Virginia and Maryland coastline as the plane enters the bay area for approach.
Baltimore Inner Harbor
The urban landscape of Baltimore and its historic harbor just before landing at BWI.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On clear days, you can spot the thin ribbon of the Outer Banks and the urban sprawl of Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Midday flights provide the best lighting to capture the turquoise colors of the Caribbean waters without glare.
