TGU → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Toncontín International Airport (Tegucigalpa) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Caribbean's most stunning features, including the Honduran Bay Islands and the iconic approach into Miami over Biscayne Bay.
The Bay Islands
Exceptional views of Roatán and Utila, characterized by white sand beaches and the world's second-largest barrier reef.
Cayman Trench
The deepest part of the Caribbean Sea, where the water turns a profound, dark sapphire blue.
Havana Skyline
On many routes, the plane passes just east of the Cuban capital, offering views of the Malecón and historic district.
Florida Keys
The spectacular string of islands and the Seven Mile Bridge stretching across the turquoise straits.
Miami & South Beach
A stunning panoramic view of the Miami skyline, the Port of Miami, and the Atlantic coastline upon arrival.
The right side is essential for viewing the Bay Islands shortly after takeoff. If landing toward the east at MIA (common during prevailing winds), this side provides a world-class view of downtown Miami. For the best photography of the reefs and islands, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.
Tegucigalpa Valley
A dramatic view of the Honduran capital nestled between rugged mountain peaks during the steep ascent.
Montaña de Yoro
Lush, high-altitude cloud forests and mountain ridges of northern Honduras as the plane heads toward the coast.
Turneffe Atoll
Distant views of the Belizean coral reefs and turquoise lagoons if the flight path tracks westward.
Pinar del Río
The western tip of Cuba, featuring unique limestone karst landscapes and tobacco fields.
The Everglades
The vast, emerald-green wetlands of South Florida during the final descent into MIA.
Sit on the left for a direct view of the challenging mountain departure from Toncontín. This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. During the descent, watch for the distinct transition from the dark blue Gulf Stream to the shallow, light-green waters of the Florida shelf.
