Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a diverse panorama, featuring the Appalachian Mountains, the US capital region, and an incredible final approach over the turquoise Gulf of Gonâve and the lush mountains surrounding Port-au-Prince.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Appalachian Range

Early in the flight, view the rolling green ridges of the eastern US mountain chain.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

Cross over the massive estuary system near Maryland and Virginia, seeing intricate coastlines and bridges.

🌊

Great Bahama Bank

Marbled patterns of white sand and shallow turquoise water stretching for miles.

🚤

The Exumas

See the chain of tiny cays and sandbars that make up one of the most beautiful parts of the Bahamas.

🛶

Île de la Gonâve

A large, rugged island sitting in the middle of the bay just before the final approach to PAP.

🏙️

Port-au-Prince Basin

A dramatic descent over the urban sprawl nestled between the mountains and the sea.

The right side offers the most dramatic descent into Haiti, passing directly over the Gulf of Gonâve. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so expect high-contrast views of the Haitian mountains and the bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.3
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Catch a distant glimpse of the New York City skyscrapers as you head south over the Jersey Shore.

🌊

Atlantic Seaboard

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the aircraft leaves the US mainland behind.

🏝️

Eleuthera & Cat Island

Stunning aerial views of the narrow, winding islands of the Bahamas with their contrasting deep and shallow waters.

💎

Turks and Caicos

Look for the brilliant white sands and reef systems of the Caicos Bank.

⛰️

Massif du Nord

The first glimpse of Haiti’s rugged northern mountain ranges as you cross the border from the sea.

The left side is best for seeing the string of Bahamian islands and the Turks and Caicos. Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the turquoise reefs.
