Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular departure over the San Blas Islands and a breathtaking approach along the mountainous Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🏝️

Guna Yala Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the San Blas Islands, featuring hundreds of tiny white-sand coral atolls shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Massif de la Hotte

The towering mountain ranges of southwestern Haiti, home to some of the country's highest peaks.

🌊

Tiburon Peninsula Coast

The turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs along Haiti's southern 'finger' as the plane crosses into Hispaniola.

💧

Étang Saumâtre

Haiti's largest salt lake, visible near the Dominican Republic border during the final approach pattern.

⛰️

Massif de la Selle

Distant views of the high mountains bordering the capital to the south and east.

The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the San Blas Islands. For the arrival into Port-au-Prince, the right side provides a superior view of the lush, mountainous terrain that defines the Haitian landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Panama City Skyline

Distant views of the skyscrapers and the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal upon takeoff.

🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Caribbean Sea during the mid-flight cruise.

🏝️

Île de la Gonâve

A massive, rugged island sitting in the center of the Gulf of Gonâve during the final descent.

🏘️

Cité Soleil and Port Waterfront

Direct views of the northern urban sprawl and the industrial port area of the capital.

Sit on the left if you prefer views of the expansive Gulf of Gonâve and the massive island that sits within it. During late afternoon flights, this side will experience direct sunlight and potential glare, so keep the window shade partially down until descent.
