Immediate views of the emerald hills of St. Thomas and the surrounding cays of the US Virgin Islands after takeoff.
Puerto Rico North Shore
A long stretch of the lush northern coast of Puerto Rico, including the historic San Juan skyline.
Hispaniola Mountains

The Exuma Cays

Miami Skyline

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid harsh glare. This side is superior for the 'Miami approach' where the aircraft often banks over the city, offering views of the Venetian Islands and the bay. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best island photography.

The Gulf Stream
Observe the distinct deep indigo color of the powerful ocean current as you approach the Florida coast.
Miami Beach
