Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: the Puerto Rico departure over the Atlantic and northern coastline, plus the approach over open ocean before reaching the Rhode Island coast. The Atlantic crossing provides extended ocean views that are visually distinctive.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the open Atlantic Ocean for roughly 2.5 hours. Notable features include: the continental shelf edge southeast of Cape Cod (visible as a subtle color change in water depth around 2 hours into flight), the Gulf Stream's warm water corridor (visible as darker blue water), and the approach to the U.S. East Coast where the continental shelf widens. No major landmarks are visible during the mid-Atlantic portion—this is primarily open ocean with occasional ship traffic visible as small white dots.
