Sierra Maestra
Dramatic views of Cuba's highest mountain range immediately after takeoff from Santiago.
Andros Island
The largest island in the Bahamas featuring intricate tidal creeks and the Tongue of the Ocean.
US East Coast Cities
Distant views of major metropolitan hubs like Norfolk, Philadelphia, and the New York City skyline.
Adirondack Mountains
Vast wilderness area in upstate New York characterized by high peaks and dense forests.
Montreal Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, a stunning view of Downtown Montreal and Mount Royal.
Sit on the left for the most consistent land views. If flying during the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade partially closed to avoid glare until the sun sets over the American Northeast. This side is also best for spotting the lights of the Eastern Seaboard on night flights.
