Amazon Basin
Spectacular views of the Mamoré and Madeira river tributaries snaking through the deep jungle.
Cuban Coastline
Aerial views of the northern keys and the vibrant coral reefs surrounding the island of Cuba.
The Bahamas
Exceptional views of the shallow turquoise sandbanks and deep blue 'tongue of the ocean' near Bimini.
Miami Skyline
A prime view of the Downtown Miami high-rises and the Port of Miami during the final approach leg.
Atlantic Coast
The white sand beaches of Key Biscayne and Miami Beach are often visible before the final turn to the runway.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for Caribbean colors. For overnight flights arriving at dawn, you will witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic. Ensure your window shade is open as you cross Cuba to see the dramatic change in water color from deep navy to bright turquoise. For the best view of the Miami skyline, hope for an approach from the east.

Andean Foothills
Distant views of the eastern Cordillera rising from the Bolivian lowlands during the initial climb.
Western Amazon
A seemingly endless carpet of dense tropical rainforest stretching toward the Peruvian border.
Florida Everglades
The unique wetland ecosystem of the 'River of Grass' visible during the descent into Miami.
Gulf Coast Sunset
On afternoon flights, this side offers front-row seats to the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico.
Choose the left side for evening arrivals to enjoy the sunset. During the final descent, look for the geometric patterns of the South Florida canal system and the vast, swampy expanse of the Everglades National Park. This side is typically quieter for sleeping as it avoids the morning sun on northbound daytime flights.
