Straits of Florida
Breathtaking views of the vibrant turquoise waters and the Florida Keys shortly after departure from Varadero.
Space Coast
Clear views of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center launch pads as the flight tracks north along the Florida coast.
The Outer Banks
The distinctive narrow barrier islands of North Carolina, including Cape Hatteras and its surrounding shoals.
Northeast Corridor
Distal views of the Manhattan skyline, Long Island Sound, and the dense urban sprawl of the US East Coast.
Cape Cod
The iconic hook-shaped peninsula of Massachusetts and the surrounding islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Bay of Fundy
Witness the dramatic coastline and high-tide mudflats as the aircraft crosses into Canadian airspace near New Brunswick.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On daytime flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft in the morning, providing excellent lighting for photos of the US coastline. During night flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the 'city lights' mega-region from DC to Boston.

Bahama Banks
Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the deep blue Atlantic dropping off from the shallow Bahamian sandbanks.
Gulf Stream
Observe the deep indigo color of the Gulf Stream current against the lighter Atlantic waters.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon, ideal for catching a sunrise on early morning departures.
Nova Scotia Shoreline
The rugged, forested Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia as the plane begins its final descent into Halifax.
The right side is generally less scenic as it faces the open ocean for most of the duration. However, it is the preferred side for avoiding direct sun glare during afternoon northbound flights. Keep an eye out for distant container ships and the occasional view of Sable Island if the flight path tracks further east.
