Search flights from PBI to NAS
Palm Beach Coastline
Aerial views of the luxury estates and golden sands of Palm Beach immediately after takeoff.
The Gulf Stream
Witness the distinct color change where the deep blue Atlantic current meets the coastal waters.
Berry Islands
Views of the northern Berry Islands, including Great Harbour Cay and the cruise ship private islands.
Paradise Island
A clear view of the massive Atlantis resort and the white sand beaches of Cabbage Beach during the descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Atlantis resort during the final approach into Nassau. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the islands without the sun directly in your eyes. This short flight remains at a lower altitude, providing great detail of the coral reefs.

Lake Worth Lagoon
View of the bustling Intracoastal Waterway and marinas of West Palm Beach.
Great Bahama Bank
Incredible gradients of turquoise and teal as the plane flies over the shallow sandy bottoms.
Chub Cay
Known as the Billfish Capital of the World, this southern tip of the Berry Islands is easily spotted.
Nassau Harbour
Watch for cruise ships docked at Prince George Wharf and the historic downtown Nassau skyline.
The right side is superior for observing the stunning electric blue colors of the Great Bahama Bank. Afternoon flights are best here to capture the vibrancy of the water as the sun moves west, illuminating the shallow reefs. Keep a lookout for small boats and sandbars as you cross the bank.
