Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oranjestad to Miami. Right side wins both ends of the flight — the departure gives you Aruba's coastline and Caribbean shallows, and the arrival delivers Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The left side sees mostly open Caribbean and then the Everglades on approach, which is less visually varied.

During takeoff from Reina Beatrix International (AUA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Aruba's main runway 11/29 typically sees departures to the northwest toward Miami, meaning a right-side seat faces south over Oranjestad, the island's west coast, and the vivid turquoise shallows of the Caribbean. You get a clear view of the island's full outline as you climb out over open water. Notable sights include: Oranjestad harbor and its colorful waterfront, Eagle Beach and Palm Beach resort strip along the northwest coast, the shallow turquoise reef shelf surrounding the island, Aruba's arid interior scrubland contrasting with the coastline.

When landing at Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Miami International typically uses runways 08L/R for eastward arrivals, with approaches from the west over the Everglades. A right-side seat on approach gives you the Miami Beach barrier island, Biscayne Bay, and the downtown Miami skyline as you descend over the metro area from the west. Notable sights include: The Florida Everglades sawgrass prairies on approach, Biscayne Bay and its chain of barrier islands, Miami Beach and South Beach peninsula, downtown Miami skyline along the bay waterfront.

The flight from Reina Beatrix International (AUA) to Miami International (MIA) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight tracks northwest over the open Caribbean Sea, passing north of the Venezuelan coast and the Dutch islands of Curaçao and Bonaire early in the climb. The middle portion of the flight crosses the deep blue of the Caribbean with little land visible. As the flight approaches Florida, the shallow Bahama Banks may be visible to the northeast as pale turquoise patches, and the Florida Straits mark the transition to the Florida peninsula and the Everglades on descent.
