Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior coastal views of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard and unparalleled vistas of the vibrant turquoise reefs and islands throughout the Bahamian archipelago.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Niagara Falls

Visible shortly after departure from Toronto, providing a massive scale perspective of the falls and the mist cloud.

🏙️

Chesapeake Bay

Clear views of the intricate shoreline and the massive bridges connecting Maryland and Virginia.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

The thin, sandy ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands visible against the deep blue Atlantic.

🇧🇸

The Bahamas

Exquisite views of the Berry Islands and the bright neon-blue waters of the Great Bahama Bank.

🏝️

Palisadoes Spit

The narrow strip of land connecting Kingston to the airport, visible during the final descent into KIN.

Sit on the left for morning departures to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better lighting for photos of the Caribbean reefs. During the final hour of flight, keep your window shade up to track the transition from deep ocean to the shallow, colorful Bahamian flats.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

The distinctive linear ridges and valleys of Pennsylvania and Virginia stretch across the horizon.

🐊

Florida Peninsula

A broad view of the Florida coastline and the northern reaches of the Everglades wetlands.

🇨🇺

Eastern Cuba

The rugged, mountainous terrain of the Holguin province as the flight crosses the island toward Jamaica.

☕

Blue Mountains

Jamaica's highest peaks, often shrouded in mist, dominate the landscape during the approach to Kingston.

🚢

Kingston Harbour

One of the world's largest natural harbors, featuring busy shipping lanes and the city skyline.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best perspective of Cuba's landmass and the dramatic elevation changes of Jamaica's interior mountains. Watch for the cargo ships entering the Port of Kingston just before landing.
