Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc, including several active volcanoes and lush tropical terrain.
Montserrat Volcano
Witness the stark contrast between the lush north and the volcanic ash-covered exclusion zone of the south.
Dominica’s Peaks
The towering, rainforest-clad mountains of Morne Trois Pitons National Park, often shrouded in mist.
St. Lucia's Pitons
The most famous landmark in the Caribbean: Gros and Petit Piton rising sharply from the turquoise sea.
Mount Pelée
The massive stratovolcano overlooking Saint-Pierre on the island of Martinique.
Coastal Guadeloupe
The beautiful bays and coral reefs surrounding the southern tip of Basse-Terre island.
This is the essential side for scenic views. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for Montserrat. For the best lighting, mid-day or afternoon flights are preferable as the sun will illuminate the green volcanic peaks rather than silhouetting them.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast Atlantic Ocean and complex tropical cloud formations.
Barbados North Coast
The dramatic limestone cliffs of Animal Flower Cave and North Point during the aircraft's descent.
Bridgetown Approach
Aerial views of the capital's eastern suburbs and the Oistins coastline before landing at BGI.
Choose this side for early morning departures to avoid the sun's glare. It is also the superior side for spotting the rugged, windward side of Barbados as the plane banks for its final approach into Grantley Adams International.
