Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Belize City to Miami. The right side delivers the spectacular Belize Barrier Reef on departure, then tracks along the western edge of Cuba and the Florida Straits during cruise, and still catches glimpses of the Florida Keys chain on descent. The left side has a good Miami arrival but misses the reef entirely.

During takeoff from Philip S W Goldson International (BZE), sit on the Right side for the best views.

Notable sights include: Belize Barrier Reef (second longest in the world), English Caye, Belize City coastal lagoons, Northern Cayes chain.

When landing at Miami International (MIA), sit on the Left side for the best views. MIA typically uses runways 08/26 or 09/27, with arrivals from the south often on approach heading north or northwest. A left seat gives views over Biscayne Bay, downtown Miami, and the Miami Beach barrier island as you descend. The right side faces inland toward the Everglades. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and South Beach barrier island, downtown Miami skyline, Port of Miami cruise terminals.
