New Providence Shoreline
Clear views of Nassau's southern coastline and the white sand beaches of Clifton Bay upon departure.
Tongue of the Ocean
The dramatic visual drop-off where shallow turquoise waters turn into a deep indigo abyss.
Andros Island
Aerial perspective of the vast mangrove estuaries and the intricate tidal channels of the largest Bahamian island.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning underwater sand dunes and shifting bores that create mesmerizing patterns in the shallow sea.
Fort Lauderdale Skyline
Depending on the approach path into PBI, the dense skyline and canal systems of Broward County are often visible.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which hits the right side during the westbound journey. This side provides the best view of the vibrant blue water gradients that the Bahamas are famous for. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the sand bore patterns on the Great Bahama Bank.
