Which side of the plane to sit from Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (Basse Terre) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of Caribbean geography, providing clear views of the volcanic peaks of the Leeward Islands, the northern coastline of the Greater Antilles, and the breathtaking turquoise sandbars of the Exumas.

Mount Liamuiga
The massive dormant volcano on St. Kitts is visible immediately after takeoff as the plane climbs.
Saba
The dramatic, cloud-shrouded peak of Mount Scenery rises sharply from the sea on the port side.
Old San Juan
On clear days, the historic forts of El Morro and San Cristobal are visible along the Puerto Rican coast.
Samaná Peninsula
The lush, green mountains and secluded beaches of the northern Dominican Republic coastline.
The Exumas
The world-famous 'electric blue' water and white sandbars of the central Bahamas from high altitude.
South Beach
The iconic shoreline and high-rise skyline of Miami Beach during the final descent into MIA.
Sit on the left for morning flights (typically departing between 8 AM and 11 AM) to keep the sun on the right side of the aircraft, which prevents glare and enhances the saturation of the turquoise waters in the Bahamas. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes after departure to catch the volcanic islands of Saba and St. Eustatius.

St. Martin
A distant but clear view of the dual-nation island and the famous Maho Beach area.
British Virgin Islands
The scattered gems of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and Jost Van Dyke appearing to the northeast.
Turks and Caicos
The sprawling barrier reefs and bright white sands surrounding Providenciales and Grand Turk.
New Providence
A view of Nassau and the massive Atlantis resort on Paradise Island as you cross the Bahamas.
Port of Miami
The 'Cruise Capital of the World' with massive ships docked alongside the Miami skyline upon arrival.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Everglades as you approach Florida. If the aircraft lands on the common westbound approach (Runway 26), the right side offers the best view of the Port of Miami and the Downtown Miami skyscrapers just seconds before touchdown.
