Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most consistent views of the Lesser Antilles island chain and the stunning turquoise depths of the Bahamas, concluding with a chance to see the Space Coast on descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Northern Range

Immediate views of Trinidad's dense, rainforest-covered mountains right after takeoff from POS.

🌋

Island Arc

Successive views of volcanic islands like Grenada, St. Vincent, and St. Lucia appearing on the horizon.

🇧🇸

Turks and Caicos

High-altitude views of the massive coral reef systems and the deep blue 'wall' of the continental shelf.

🚀

Kennedy Space Center

During the descent into MCO, look for the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads at Cape Canaveral.

🎡

Theme Park Districts

On a clear day, you may spot the taller structures of Orlando's famous theme parks near the horizon.

Book a morning flight on the right side to keep the sun behind the aircraft, which maximizes the saturation of the turquoise water colors in the Bahamas. This side is also the primary side for viewing Cape Canaveral during standard arrival patterns.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Paria

Witness the distinct color change where the Orinoco River's sediment-rich water meets the Caribbean Sea.

🇩🇴

Dominican Republic

Distant views of the rugged coastline and the high peaks of the Cordillera Central mountains.

🏝️

The Exumas

A spectacular display of small cays and sandbars surrounded by vibrant sapphire waters.

🐊

Florida Interior

The landscape transitions into the lush wetlands and numerous circular lakes of Central Florida.

Sit on the left for evening flights to experience the sunset over the Caribbean. This side is also better for spotting the sprawling urban landscape of the Greater Orlando area during the final approach phase.
