Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most consistent views of the Caribbean archipelago, the rugged terrain of Hispaniola, and the intricate coastline of the Carolinas upon approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌋

St. Lucian Pitons

Dramatic views of the iconic volcanic peaks and the lush rainforest of the island shortly after takeoff.

🇩🇴

Hispaniola Mountains

Aerial perspective of the Cordillera Central, the highest mountain range in the Caribbean.

🌊

Caicos Bank

Stunning gradients of turquoise and sapphire water as the plane crosses the Turks and Caicos.

⚓

Charleston Harbor

Clear views of the South Carolina Lowcountry, including historic forts and marshy estuaries.

Sit on the left for the best orientation relative to the sun on northbound afternoon flights, which minimizes glare. Seats ahead of the wing are best for capturing the vibrant turquoise waters of the Caribbean banks.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🇧🇸

The Exumas

A bird's-eye view of the string of tiny islands and sandbars stretching across the Bahamas.

🏖️

Outer Banks

The distinctive thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands often visible during the initial descent.

🏙️

Uptown Charlotte

A potential view of the Charlotte skyline depending on the landing pattern and wind direction.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the Gulf Stream current, which often creates distinct water color boundaries visible from high altitudes.
