About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA)?
When landing at L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Bermuda's runway 30 (primary landing direction) approaches from the northwest over the open Atlantic, so left-side seats face the island's northern coastline and the distinctive turquoise reef systems and shallow banks that ring the island. Right-side seats during this approach face open ocean with minimal visual interest. Notable sights include: Bermuda's pink-sand beaches along the north shore, the turquoise shallow water banks and reef lines surrounding the island, St. George's town and harbor in the northeast, and the contrast between deep blue Atlantic waters and pale aquamarine shallows.
