PUJ β†’ MIA

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Dominican coastline immediately after takeoff, the stunning turquoise hues of the Exuma islands, and the iconic Miami Beach skyline during the approach to MIA.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ–οΈ

BΓ‘varo Coastline

Aerial views of the white sand beaches and coral reefs of Punta Cana immediately following takeoff.

πŸ’Ž

The Exumas

A breathtaking chain of small cays and sandbars surrounded by some of the clearest turquoise water on Earth.

πŸ™οΈ

Miami Beach

A classic view of the high-rise hotels along Collins Avenue and the Art Deco district during the descent.

🚒

PortMiami

The world's busiest cruise port is often visible as the plane aligns with the east-west runways at MIA.

🏟️

Hard Rock Stadium

If the approach path takes a northern loop, you will see the massive home of the Miami Dolphins.

The right side is premier for the 'Miami Arrival.' For the best colors in the Bahamas, midday flights provide the highest contrast in the water. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of the Exumas and the Florida coastline is unobstructed.

Left Side Highlights

πŸ‡©πŸ‡΄

Hispaniola North Coast

Distant views of the rugged mountainous terrain of the Dominican Republic's northern interior.

🏝️

Great Inagua Island

The southernmost island of the Bahamas, known for its massive salt ponds and flamingo populations.

🌊

Tongue of the Ocean

A deep oceanic trench between Andros and New Providence that creates a dramatic dark blue contrast against the shallow banks.

🐊

The Everglades

If the aircraft circles west for a landing, you will see the vast sawgrass prairies and wetlands of Florida.

Sit on the left if you want to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights. Keep an eye out for the transition from the deep Atlantic to the shallow Great Bahama Bank, which creates a sharp line in the water color.
