Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean northwestward. Notable reference points include the Bahamas archipelago (visible around 2.5 hours into flight), with the shallow turquoise banks and island formations of the central Bahamas appearing as the aircraft passes east of the islands. The continental shelf transition from deep ocean to shallower coastal waters becomes visible approaching the US East Coast. The Outer Banks of North Carolina may be visible in clear conditions as a thin barrier island formation along the horizon approximately 1 hour before landing.
