Also known as Chichontepec, this stunning double-peaked volcano is a landmark near the airport.
Mesoamerican Barrier Reef
The world's second-largest reef system creates beautiful turquoise swirls in the deep blue Caribbean.
Miami Skyline & Beach
During the descent, enjoy a panoramic view of the Atlantic coast, high-rise buildings, and the vibrant blue waters of Biscayne Bay.
Port Everglades
Just moments before touchdown, you will pass directly over the massive cruise ships and container vessels docked in the port.
The right side is essential for the iconic Florida 'beach arrival' feel. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so keep window shades down early on, but open them as you approach the Florida Keys for spectacular water colors.

A massive stratovolcano with a prominent crater, visible shortly after departing the capital region.
Bay Islands of Honduras
Look down to see the turquoise fringes of Roatan and Utila as you cross the Caribbean coastline.
The Everglades
As the plane crosses into Florida from the Gulf, the vast, grassy wetlands of the Everglades stretch to the horizon.
West Broward Urban Sprawl
Intricate patterns of suburban developments and man-made lakes typical of the South Florida landscape.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico on afternoon flights. It is also the better side for viewing the dense jungle interior of Central America during the first half of the trip.
