POP → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Gregorio Luperon International Airport (Puerto Plata) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic Caribbean views, the Right Side is superior for capturing the stunning turquoise gradients of the Bahamas archipelago and the Turks and Caicos banks.

Caicos Bank
The incredible transition from deep indigo ocean to shallow, neon-turquoise coral banks.
Exuma Cays
The iconic string of pearls—small, white-sand islands stretching across the blue Bahamian waters.
Nassau & Paradise Island
Views of the Atlantis resort and the bustling capital of the Bahamas mid-flight.
Miami Beach
A full sweep of the South Beach shoreline and the high-rises of Sunny Isles before landing.
The right side offers the most consistent 'tropical' scenery. To avoid harsh glare and reflections on your photos, opt for a seat behind the wing on morning flights. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the best island views.
