Which side of the plane to sit from Cibao International Airport (Santiago) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?

Amber Coast
Glimpses of the North Coast of the Dominican Republic near Puerto Plata shortly after departure.
Turks and Caicos
Stunning overhead views of Providenciales and the surrounding coral reef systems.
Exuma Cays
A continuous chain of small, white-sand islands surrounded by neon blue water.
Miami Beach
Panoramic views of the Atlantic coastline, high-rise hotels, and the Port of Miami during the descent.
The right side is highly recommended for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. For the best views of the Bahamas, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the reefs is unobstructed. If the flight lands from the east, you will have a perfect view of the South Beach shoreline.

Cibao Valley
Aerial views of the fertile agricultural heartland of the Dominican Republic immediately after takeoff.
Great Bahama Bank
Witness the dramatic color shift from the deep blue 'Tongue of the Ocean' to the shallow turquoise sands.
The Everglades
Detailed views of the vast Florida wetlands and sawgrass prairies if the plane circles west for landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a better perspective of the vastness of the Caribbean Sea and the western edge of the Bahamian banks. It is also ideal for spotting the sprawling residential canals of western Miami-Dade during the final approach.
