Which side of the plane to sit from San Salvador Airport (Cockburn Town) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Northern Exuma Cays and the most iconic approach into Nassau, featuring Paradise Island and the Atlantis Resort.
Cockburn Town
A clear view of the historic capital of San Salvador and its unique inland hypersaline lakes.
Cape Eleuthera
The southern tip of Eleuthera where the island narrows to a thin ribbon of land.
Norman's Cay
The famous Northern Exuma cay known for its vivid lagoons and historical notoriety.
Paradise Island
A spectacular view of the Atlantis Resort towers and the Cabbage Beach coastline during the final descent.
Nassau Harbor
The bustling harbor view including the cruise ship terminal and the colorful buildings of Bay Street.
To capture the iconic Atlantis photo, choose a seat forward of the wing. This side is particularly spectacular during the late afternoon as the sun sets to the west, illuminating the Nassau skyline and the coral reefs.
San Salvador South Shore
Aerial views of the pristine white sand beaches and coral reefs surrounding the departure point.
The Exuma Sound
The deep sapphire blue waters of the 6,000-foot deep underwater canyon between the islands.
Southern Exuma Cays
A stunning mosaic of tiny uninhabited islands and winding sandbars in electric turquoise water.
Elizabeth Harbour
Views toward George Town and the popular boating waters around Stocking Island.
Sit on this side for the best views of the deep-water drop-offs. Mid-day flights are ideal to see the maximum saturation of the turquoise water banks, as the sun is directly overhead and reduces glare.
