Which side of the plane to sit from Toussaint Louverture International Airport (Port-au-prince) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most vibrant and colorful views, specifically over the Bahamian archipelagos and the shallow turquoise waters of the Great Bahama Bank.
Search flights from PAP to MIA
Gulf of Gonâve
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and the coastline of Haiti's western peninsula immediately after departure.
Exuma Cays
The stunning string of Bahamian islands surrounded by swirling white sandbars and neon-blue water.
Great Bahama Bank
Incredible shallow-water patterns that create a mosaic of turquoise and sapphire hues visible for miles.
South Beach
The iconic Florida coastline, featuring the Art Deco district and the sandy stretches of Miami Beach during the approach.
Biscayne Bay
A glimpse of the stilt houses in Stiltsville and the various keys that separate the bay from the Atlantic Ocean.
The right side is the 'scenic' winner for ocean lovers. To maximize the 'neon' effect of the Bahamas water, try to book a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the reefs but not so high that it creates a reflection on the window. Use polarized sunglasses to better see the underwater topography.

Port-au-Prince Skyline
A dense urban view of the Haitian capital nestled between the mountains and the Gulf of Gonâve shortly after takeoff.
Sierra Maestra Range
Views of the rugged and lush mountainous terrain of eastern Cuba as the flight crosses near Guantánamo.
Port of Miami
Clear views of the world's largest cruise ship terminals and the MacArthur Causeway during the final descent.
Downtown Miami
If landing from the east, the left side provides a direct view of the high-rise skyline of the financial district.
Choose the left side for better views of the Haitian and Cuban landmasses. This side is typically shielded from the harsh afternoon sun on this northbound route, making photography through the window easier without excessive glare.
