Our Recommendation
8.1

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is favored for its spectacular transition into the Caribbean, offering views of the vibrant turquoise reefs of the Turks and Caicos and the northern Bahamas before descending into Haiti.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
βš“

Brittany Coast

The jagged and rocky coastline of Western France as the aircraft heads out over the ocean.

πŸŒ…

Atlantic Sunset

Since this westward flight often arrives in the evening, you will have a front-row seat to the sun setting over the horizon.

🏝️

Turks and Caicos

Incredible views of the shallow coral reefs and the glowing turquoise waters of the Caicos Bank.

🌊

The Silver Bank

A submerged carbonate bank in the Atlantic, known as a breeding ground for humpback whales.

πŸ›₯️

Île de la Tortue

The historic pirate stronghold off the northern coast of Haiti, visible just before the final descent.

Sit on the right for the iconic 'Caribbean Blue' water views. Be prepared for direct sunlight for a large portion of the flight; keep your window shade partially closed mid-flight to avoid heat. The descent offers a stunning view of Tortuga Island and the GonΓ’ve Gulf.

Loire Valley

Catch glimpses of the winding Loire River and the famous chateaus shortly after departing Paris.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Puerto Rico North Coast

On clear days, the rugged northern coastline and the San Juan metropolitan area are visible in the distance.

⛰️

Cordillera Central

The massive mountain ranges of the Dominican Republic, featuring the highest peaks in the Caribbean.

🏘️

Port-au-Prince Basin

A close view of the urban sprawl and the Cul-de-Sac plain as the plane lines up for landing.

The left side provides a better view of the mountainous interior of Hispaniola. As most flights arrive in the late afternoon, the sun will be on the right, making the left side better for glare-free photography of the Dominican and Haitian landscapes.
