Which side of the plane to sit from Toussaint Louverture International Airport (Port-au-prince) to La Isabela International Airport (La Isabela)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional view of the Caribbean coastline and the unique hypersaline lakes that define the border region between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Massif de la Selle
Fly past Haiti's highest mountain range featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Lake Enriquillo
See the largest lake in the Caribbean, situated in a rift valley below sea level.
Caribbean Coastline
Enjoy panoramic views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea as the flight tracks eastward.
Sierra de Bahoruco
Observe the lush, biodiversity-rich mountain range in the southwestern Dominican Republic.
Santo Domingo Skyline
Catch a view of the sprawling capital city and its colonial zone during the descent.
The right side is ideal for capturing the unique geography of the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. Sit here for the best views of the Caribbean coastline during the approach to JBQ, especially during sunset flights when the light reflects off the water.
Port-au-Prince Basin
View the dense urban layout of Haiti's capital as you ascend from the runway.
Cordillera Central
Marvel at the Caribbean's highest mountain range stretching across the northern horizon.
Lake Azuéi
Spot the northern turquoise shores of Haiti's largest lake shortly after takeoff.
Cibao Valley
Glimpse the fertile agricultural heartland of the Dominican Republic to the north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunlight hitting the Cordillera Central peaks. It is also the best side to observe the dramatic change in forest cover across the international border.
