Which side of the plane to sit from Providenciales Airport (Providenciales) to Cap Haitien International Airport (Cap Haitien)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the dramatic turquoise drop-offs of the Caicos Bank followed by the rugged, mountainous coastline of northern Haiti, including the famous Labadee resort area.
Grace Bay Shoreline
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the world-renowned white sands of Providenciales.
West Caicos
View the rugged limestone cliffs and the protected marine parks of this uninhabited gem.
Labadee Peninsula
Clear views of the secluded Royal Caribbean resort peninsula with its distinctive beaches and zip lines.
Massif du Nord
The dramatic rise of Haiti's northern mountain range as the aircraft crosses the coastline.
Citadelle Laferrière
On clear days, look toward the distant mountain peaks to spot the silhouette of this massive 19th-century fortress.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. It provides the best angle for Labadee and the lush, vertical terrain of Haiti. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to capture the sharp contrast between the ocean and the mountains. Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful golden hour glow over the Haitian peaks.
The Caicos Bank
Stunning vistas of the shallow, bright turquoise waters and sandbars extending south of Providenciales.
East Caicos
Aerial view of the large, uninhabited wilderness and intricate mangrove systems of the eastern islands.
Cap-Haïtien Harbor
A view of the bustling commercial port and the dense urban layout of Haiti's second-largest city during the final approach.
Ambergris Cays
Small, exclusive luxury islands visible as white specks against the deep blue Atlantic transition.
Sit on the left for the best views of the expansive Caicos wetlands and the urban sprawl of Cap-Haïtien. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the neon blues of the ocean without glare.
