Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Medellin to Miami. The left side captures the Caribbean Sea for much of the cruise phase, including the Colombian and Central American coastlines, Cuba's western tip, and then the spectacular Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay arrival. The right side at takeoff is excellent but the left side delivers more sustained scenery across the full flight.

During takeoff from Olaya Herrera (EOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Olaya Herrera's primary runway (01/19) means northbound departures climb out heading north, putting the eastern Andes cordillera and the urban bowl of Medellín on the right side. You get a clear look at the city nestled in the Aburrá Valley with the surrounding ridgelines rising sharply on both flanks. Notable sights include: Aburrá Valley urban corridor, Eastern Andes cordillera ridgeline, El Poblado district hillside neighborhoods, Cerro El Volador urban hill.

When landing at Miami International (MIA), sit on the Left side for the best views. MIA's primary arrival runways (08L/08R) bring aircraft in from the west over the Everglades, so left-side passengers see Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach barrier island, and the downtown Miami skyline clearly to the north as you descend. Right side faces inland toward the Everglades wetlands. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach barrier island and Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Miami skyline, Port of Miami cruise terminals.

The flight from Olaya Herrera (EOH) to Miami International (MIA) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

After climbing north out of Medellín the route crosses the Colombian lowlands toward the Caribbean coast near Cartagena, then tracks northwest over the open Caribbean Sea passing north of Panama and Costa Rica. The Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico may be visible distantly to the west. The route then crosses Cuba's western provinces before descending over the Florida Straits and the Florida Keys chain, which appears as a thin dotted arc of islands curving southwest to northeast just before the Miami metro comes into view.
