Atlantis Paradise Island
Unparalleled views of the massive pink towers, water parks, and marinas of the famous resort just north of the runway.
Berry Islands
Fly over the pristine cays of the Berry Islands, known for their secluded beaches and private island getaways.
Great Bahama Bank
Spectacular abstract swirls of white sand and neon-turquoise water that characterize the shallow Bahamian shelf.
Florida Gold Coast
A stunning perspective of the high-rise condos and sandy beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach during approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon travel to avoid direct sun glare. Look out immediately after wheels-up to catch the Atlantis Resort. The shallow water patterns are most vibrant when the sun is high (midday), creating high-contrast turquoise colors.

Nassau Coastline
Detailed views of the southern beaches and the colorful colonial architecture of downtown Nassau.
Tongue of the Ocean
Observe the sharp 'wall' where the turquoise shallow water turns into the deep indigo of the oceanic trench.
Bimini Islands
A clear view of the narrow islands of North and South Bimini, including the famous Sapona shipwreck if the path is southerly.
Port Everglades
During the descent into FLL, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the world's largest cruise ships docked in the harbor.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is best for identifying the distinct geography of Bimini and the sprawling urban landscape of Miami and Hollywood as you cross the Florida coast.
