The world-famous Atlantis Resort and the long stretch of white sand at Cabbage Beach.
Great Harbour Cay
The largest of the Berry Islands, featuring stunning secluded beaches and hidden lagoons.
Kennedy Space Center
The massive Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads visible along the Cape Canaveral coast.
Banana River
The winding coastal lagoons that separate the space center from the Florida mainland.
Orlando Skyline
Distant views of the downtown high-rises and the sprawling theme park region on final descent.
The right side is essential for space enthusiasts; as the plane crosses the Florida coast near Cocoa Beach, the Kennedy Space Center launch pads are prominently visible.

Nassau Cityscape
A clear view of the Bahamian capital, including the busy harbor and historic colonial architecture.
Great Bahama Bank
Incredible, swirling patterns of shallow turquoise water and white sandbars extending for miles.
Chub Cay
The southern tip of the Berry Islands, known as the 'Billfish Capital of the Bahamas'.
Treasure Coast
The scenic Florida coastline near Vero Beach and Fort Pierce as the plane enters U.S. airspace.
Florida Wetlands
Vast stretches of marshland and winding canals characteristic of the Central Florida interior.
Sit on the left for the most consistent views of the Bahama Bank's vibrant turquoise waters. Mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun is high enough to illuminate the sea floor but won't cause direct glare. Keep an eye out for the deep blue 'Tongue of the Ocean' trench just west of Nassau.
