ANU โ NEV
Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Vance W. Amory International Airport (Charlestown)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the active Montserrat volcano and the dramatic volcanic terrain of the Leeward Islands during this short island hop.
Soufriรจre Hills Volcano
Breathtaking views of the active volcano on Montserrat, featuring ash-scarred slopes and steam plumes.
Redonda Island
An isolated, uninhabited volcanic rock pinnacle that serves as a critical seabird nesting site.
Nevis Peak
A direct view of the towering 3,232-foot central volcanic cone of Nevis as you approach the island.
Jolly Harbour
The bright turquoise waters and white sands of Antigua's west coast shortly after takeoff.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Montserrat exclusion zone; the volcano is the star of this route. The flight is extremely short, usually under 20 minutes, so keep your camera ready from the moment the wheels retract. Morning flights provide the clearest views before afternoon clouds gather around the mountain peaks.
St. John's City
The colorful capital of Antigua, its harbor, and often several cruise ships at the pier.
The Narrows
The beautiful, shallow turquoise strait that separates the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis.
St. Kitts Peninsula
The rolling green hills and salt ponds of the Great Southern Peninsula of neighboring St. Kitts.
Oualie Beach
Crystal clear shallow reefs and boats dotting the northern coastline of Nevis during final descent.
The right side is ideal for seeing the close proximity of St. Kitts to Nevis. You will see the northern tip of Nevis and the southern mountains of St. Kitts simultaneously during the final approach into NEV. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Caribbean's 'Narrows' is not obstructed by the engine or wing structure.
