Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Washington to Cockburn Town. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: Washington, D.C. landmarks during departure and the Atlantic coastline during the long cruise over open ocean. Left seats offer excellent landing views but miss the compelling takeoff sequence.

During takeoff from Washington Dulles International (IAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Potomac River and Washington, D.C. landmarks during the initial climb-out heading southeast. The city's grid pattern and major monuments are visible within the first 10-15 minutes of flight. Notable sights include: Potomac River, Washington Monument and Capitol Building area, Arlington County urban sprawl, Shenandoah Valley foothills (distant).

When landing at San Salvador (ZSA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Bahamas archipelago and turquoise shallow banks during descent into San Salvador. The distinctive light blue water of the Tongue of the Ocean and the island's irregular coastline are striking during final approach from the northwest. Notable sights include: Tongue of the Ocean (deep blue water), San Salvador Island coastline, shallow turquoise banks and cays, Exuma Cays (distant, to the south).

The flight from Washington Dulles International (IAD) to San Salvador (ZSA) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean southeast from the Carolinas. Notable features include the Outer Banks of North Carolina (visible during initial climb if weather permits), then open Atlantic for most of the cruise. As the aircraft approaches the Bahamas, the shallow turquoise banks and scattered cays of the central Bahamas archipelago become visible, with the Exuma Cays and Andros Island passing to the west or east depending on exact approach routing. The Tongue of the Ocean—a deep trench between islands—creates the striking dark blue water visible on descent.
