Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Appalachian chain, the sprawling Florida Everglades, and a spectacular approach over the Florida Keys and the turquoise waters leading into Cuba.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Adirondack Mountains

Early in the flight, enjoy the rugged, forested peaks of upstate New York.

🏛️

Chesapeake Bay

Excellent views of the massive estuary and often the distinct layout of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

🐊

Florida Everglades

The vast, shimmering wetlands of Southern Florida provide a unique geometric pattern from above.

🌉

The Florida Keys

A stunning view of the Overseas Highway and the transition from the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean Sea.

🇨🇺

Cuban North Coast

The lush green landscapes and rural agriculture of the Villa Clara province as you descend into Santa Clara.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the Florida coastline. It provides the best perspective of the Appalachian ridges and the distinct transition from the US mainland to the island geography of the Caribbean. Look for the Seven Mile Bridge when passing the Keys.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

St. Lawrence River

Aerial view of the massive river system and the islands surrounding Montreal immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Atlantic Seaboard

Distant views of major East Coast hubs like New York City and Philadelphia if the flight path remains coastal.

🏖️

Outer Banks

The unique, thin barrier islands of North Carolina stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean.

🏝️

Bahamian Cays

As you approach the Caribbean, look for the scattered, bright blue reefs and small islands of the northern Bahamas.

🚢

Florida Straits

The deep blue waters separating Florida and Cuba, often dotted with cargo ships and cruise liners.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side is also better for spotting the white sands of the Bahamas during the descent. Keep an eye out for the Cape Canaveral area if the pilot takes a more easterly track.
