Which side of the plane to sit from Las Américas International Airport (Santo Domingo) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Colombian coastline, including the majestic Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the intricate path of the Magdalena River as you transition into the Andes.
Haina Port
Aerial view of the Dominican Republic's busiest industrial port and the mouth of the Haina River shortly after departure.
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The world's highest coastal mountain range, often visible with snow-capped peaks rising directly from the sea.
Magdalena River
Watch the winding path of Colombia's principal river as it snakes through the tropical lowlands toward the sea.
Central Cordillera
Dramatic views of the jagged Andean ridges as the aircraft climbs toward the high plateau of the capital.
Andean Cloud Forests
As you descend into BOG, see the lush, mist-covered greenery characteristic of the high-altitude Colombian ecosystem.
The right side is the star of the show for spotting the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Ensure a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the Magdalena River's massive delta and the steep ascent into the Andes. Afternoon flights offer the most dramatic lighting for the mountain terrain.
Santo Domingo Coastline
Detailed views of the Dominican Republic's southern shores and the Caribbean turquoise waters during takeoff.
Deep Caribbean Sea
A long stretch over the Caribbean with varying shades of blue, ideal for spotting remote atolls or shipping lanes.
Serranía del Perijá
Rugged mountain views along the Colombia-Venezuela border as the flight enters South American airspace.
Bogotá Northern Suburbs
On the standard arrival, views of the sprawling urban expansion of northern Bogotá and the high-altitude plateau.
Monserrate Hill
Depending on the landing pattern, a glimpse of the famous church perched on the mountain overlooking the city.
Choose the left side for early morning departures to avoid the sun's glare. It provides a great perspective of the Sabana de Bogotá during the final descent, often passing close to the eastern hills.
