Canadian Rockies
Dramatic views of the snow-capped mountain range to the west during the initial climb.
Missouri River Breaks
Rugged, eroded badland topography visible as the flight moves south into the US.
Florida Everglades
The massive 'River of Grass' wetland ecosystem visible across Southern Florida.
Florida Keys
The chain of islands and the Overseas Highway stretching across turquoise waters.
Hicacos Peninsula
The world-famous narrow strip of Varadero's white sand beaches upon final approach.
The right side is the 'money' side for this route. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to see the Florida Keys and the Varadero beach strip, which usually appears on the right during the standard approach into VRA.

Geometric crop circles and vast agricultural landscapes across the Dakotas and Nebraska.
Mississippi River
Observation of the massive, winding waterway as the flight traverses the central United States.
