Which side of the plane to sit from Las Américas International Airport (Santo Domingo) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it provides front-row seats to the spectacular turquoise waters and white sand banks of the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamian archipelago.
Search flights from SDQ to ATL
Turks and Caicos
Stunning views of the Caicos Bank where deep navy water abruptly turns into vibrant neon turquoise.
The Exumas
A breathtaking string of tiny islands and sandbars stretching across the clear Bahamian waters.
Nassau & Paradise Island
Spot the capital of the Bahamas and its large resort complexes from cruising altitude.
Lowcountry Marshes
As you approach the US mainland, view the intricate tidal networks and salt marshes of Georgia.
Georgia Piedmont
The final descent offers views of the dense forest canopy that defines the landscape of the American South.
The highlights on the right occur within the first 60 to 90 minutes of the flight. For the best photos of the Bahamas, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the shallow reefs perfectly. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure a clear view of the island chains.

Cordillera Central
View the rugged, mountainous interior of Hispaniola shortly after departing Santo Domingo.
South Florida Skyline
If the flight path trends west, you can see the dense urban sprawl and high-rises of Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
The Everglades
Observe the vast, flat wetlands of Florida's famous 'River of Grass' near the middle of the flight.
Space Coast
Look for the Kennedy Space Center and the distinct geography of Cape Canaveral along the Florida coast.
Sit on the left for views of the Florida peninsula. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will be in direct sunlight, so keep the window shade partially down to manage heat and glare while watching for the coastline.
