Vieques Island
Aerial view of the island known for its bioluminescent bays and pristine, undeveloped beaches.
Culebra & Flamenco Beach
Spot the world-famous horseshoe-shaped beach and the smaller surrounding cays to the north.
Old San Juan
On clear days with specific approach patterns, the historic El Morro and San Cristóbal forts are visible along the coast.
Condado District
Views of the high-rise hotels and vibrant beachfront of San Juan's primary tourism district.
San Juan Harbor
Watch cruise ships and cargo vessels entering the busy bay as you make your final descent.
The right side is the 'money' side for this short hop. To see the Spanish Virgin Islands clearly, fly during the late morning when the sun is high. If the flight circles west before landing, you will get an unmatched view of the 16th-century Spanish fortifications.

Sandy Point
Clear views of the long, white-sand peninsula at the southwestern tip of St. Croix upon departure.
Caribbean Sea
Uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Caribbean waters and the transition to the shallower reefs near Puerto Rico.
El Yunque Peaks
The misty, lush mountains of the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System are visible to the south.
Carolina Suburbs
Dense urban sprawl and colorful rooftops of the Carolina district as the plane descends toward the runway.
Sit here if you want to avoid direct sun glare during morning flights. It provides a great perspective of the island's mountainous interior, especially if the plane takes a more southerly approach vector.
