Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the Exuma Cays and the breathtaking turquoise gradients of the Great Bahama Bank, which are the visual highlights of the Bahamian archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
💠

The Exuma Cays

A stunning string of emerald islands surrounded by some of the clearest shallow water on Earth.

🌊

Great Bahama Bank

Incredible underwater sand patterns and shifting dunes visible through the shallow turquoise sea.

⛰ïļ

Long Island West Coast

The rugged western side of Long Island featuring secluded beaches and quiet coastal settlements.

🧂

Morton Salt Works

Massive, gleaming white mountains of harvested salt that look like snow in the tropical heat.

ðŸĶĒ

Lake Windsor

A massive interior lake on Inagua where you can spot the pink hue of the world's largest flamingo colony.

This is the premier side for photography. Flights between 10 AM and 2 PM offer the best overhead lighting to capture the vibrant neon blues of the water. On final approach, watch for the bright pink clusters of flamingos near the salt pans.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙ïļ

Eastern Nassau Coast

Aerial views of the capital's eastern residential areas and Montagu Bay shortly after takeoff.

🏝ïļ

Conception Island

A remote, uninhabited national park known for its pristine circular reef and clear waters.

🌊

The Atlantic Abyss

The dramatic visual contrast where the shallow island shelves drop off into the deep blue ocean.

ðŸĶĐ

Little Inagua

A wild, protected island that serves as a vital nesting ground for sea turtles and rare birds.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare. Keep a lookout for the sharp 'tongue of the ocean' drop-offs where the water color shifts from teal to midnight blue instantly.
