Philadelphia Skyline
A clear view of Center City and the Delaware River immediately after takeoff.
Chesapeake Bay
The massive estuary system of Maryland and Virginia, including the Bay Bridge.
Miami & The Gold Coast
The dense high-rises and neon-blue waters of the South Florida shoreline.
Seven Mile Beach
The world-famous crescent of white sand and luxury resorts on the west side of Grand Cayman.
George Town Harbor
The colorful capital city and cruise ship port as the plane maneuvers for landing.
This is the 'money' side for the approach. Most flights land facing east (Runway 08), meaning the right side gets a perfect view of the entire west coast of the island. Sit behind the wing to ensure your photos of Seven Mile Beach are unobstructed.

The thin, sandy ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Bahamian Cays
Stunning turquoise waters and coral formations as you overfly the Abaco Islands.
The North Sound
The large, shallow lagoon of Grand Cayman, famous for Stingray City, visible on descent.
Rum Point
A clear view of the tranquil northern tip of Grand Cayman and its surrounding reefs.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is the best side for spotting the intricate reef patterns of the Bahamas and the expansive North Sound lagoon just before touchdown.
