About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Miami International (MIA) to E T Joshua (SVD)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Kingstown. The right side wins overall because the takeoff view over Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach is one of the most visually spectacular urban coastal departures in the US, and during the cruise the right side also faces the eastern Caribbean islands as you approach the Lesser Antilles. The left side's La Soufrière view on landing is excellent but brief.

What can I see during takeoff from Miami International in Miami?

During takeoff from Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. MIA typically departs east on runway 08R/09, then turns southeast toward the Caribbean. The right side gives you a clear look at Biscayne Bay, the Miami Beach barrier islands, and the Atlantic coastline as you bank south. The left side faces inland toward the Everglades, which is flat and featureless at this stage. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay and its turquoise shallows, Miami Beach and the Art Deco barrier island strip, Port of Miami with cruise ships at dock, the Florida Keys chain beginning to appear to the south.

What can I see when landing at E T Joshua in Kingstown?

When landing at E T Joshua (SVD), sit on the Left side for the best views. E.T. Joshua Airport at Kingstown sits on the southwestern tip of St. Vincent. Aircraft typically approach from the south or southeast over the Caribbean, meaning the left side faces the island's dramatic volcanic interior — the La Soufrière stratovolcano dominates the northern end of the island and is visible on final approach. The right side looks out over open Caribbean Sea. Notable sights include: La Soufrière volcano at the northern end of St. Vincent, the green ridgeline of the Soufrière Hills running down the island's spine, Kingstown harbor and its compact waterfront, the Grenadines island chain visible to the south.

What does the Miami to Kingstown flight path pass over?

The flight tracks southeast across the Bahamas archipelago — Great Bahama Bank's impossibly shallow turquoise water is visible early in the flight. The route then crosses Cuba's eastern tip or passes south of Hispaniola depending on routing, with the Sierra Maestra mountains of eastern Cuba or the Massif de la Selle in Haiti potentially visible. The central portion crosses open Caribbean Sea. The Lesser Antilles chain appears on the horizon roughly 45 minutes before landing, with Barbados, St. Lucia, and Martinique visible as green volcanic silhouettes depending on visibility.
