Which side of the plane to sit from Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau) to Grand Bahama International Airport (Freeport)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the Nassau coastline, including the iconic Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, followed by a close-up look at the picturesque Berry Islands and the vibrant cruise ship private islands.
Paradise Island
Get a perfect aerial view of the Atlantis Resort towers and the sprawling waterpark complex.
Nassau Waterfront
See the historic downtown area, the cruise ship piers, and the British Colonial Hilton.
Great Harbour Cay
The largest of the Berry Islands, featuring a beautiful semicircular 'sugar sand' beach.
CocoCay and Stirrup Cay
Look for the colorful cruise ship private destinations with their tropical waterparks and docks.
On the descent into Freeport, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct line where the turquoise bank meets the deep blue Atlantic. Since the flight is extremely short (approx. 30-40 minutes), ensure you have your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the Nassau highlights pass by quickly.
Great Bahama Bank
Observe the mesmerizing contrast between the shallow, neon-turquoise sandbars and the deep blue channels.
Chub Cay
A glimpse of the 'Billfish Capital of the Bahamas' at the southern tip of the Berry Islands chain.
The Tongue of the Ocean
See the dramatic underwater drop-off where the shallow bank meets the deep oceanic trench.
West End of New Providence
View the luxury developments and secluded beaches of Lyford Cay shortly after takeoff.
For the best visibility of the underwater sand patterns and the Great Bahama Bank, choose a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the seabed but not directly overhead. Avoid sunset flights on this side to prevent heavy glare.
