PBI → ELH
Which side of the plane to sit from Palm Beach International Airport (West Palm Beach) to North Eleuthera Airport (North Eleuthera)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Atlantic, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Bahamas Bank's transition from deep blue to neon turquoise and is the primary side for viewing the iconic Glass Window Bridge upon approach.

West Palm Skyline
Panoramic views of the Lake Worth Lagoon and the downtown West Palm Beach urban corridor during departure.
Great Bahama Bank
A breathtaking transition where the ocean floor rises, turning the water into vibrant shades of aquamarine and teal.
Glass Window Bridge
The 'Narrowest Place on Earth' where the turbulent dark blue Atlantic is separated by a sliver of rock from the calm turquoise Bight of Eleuthera.
Current Cut
Observe the swirling, high-velocity tidal currents moving between the northern tip of the main island and Current Island.
The right side is the 'money side' for photographers. Midday flights offer the best lighting to capture the neon colors of the shallow banks. Keep your camera ready about 10-12 minutes before landing to catch the stark contrast at the Glass Window Bridge.
Book Hotels in North Eleuthera
Palm Beach Gold Coast
Aerial views of the opulent Breakers Hotel and the narrow barrier island of Palm Beach immediately after takeoff.
The Gulf Stream
Witness the dramatic color change as the aircraft crosses the deep, dark sapphire waters of the powerful Gulf Stream current.
Harbour Island
On final approach, look for the pale pink sands and colonial architecture of Dunmore Town to the east.
Devil's Backbone
Clear views of the jagged reef system north of Eleuthera known for its shallow, crystal-clear shipwrecks.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. This side is excellent for spotting the distinct line of the Florida coastline fading into the horizon and the initial glimpses of the northern out-islands.
