ANU → SBH
Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Gustaf III Airport (Gustavia)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Caribbean vistas, the right side typically provides a clearer view of the perfectly formed volcanic cone of Sint Eustatius and a more dramatic perspective of St. Barts' turquoise coastline upon the legendary approach into Gustaf III Airport.

Prickly Pear Islets
Small, uninhabited turquoise gems and reefs just off the northern coast of Antigua.

Eden Rock
The famous red-roofed luxury hotel perched on a rocky promontory in St. Jean Bay.
St. Jean Bay
Vibrant turquoise waters and white sands that define the final seconds of the approach.
Choose the right side for the most iconic views of the approach into SBH. You will see the dramatic volcanic terrain of Statia before banking toward St. Barts. For the best photography of the turquoise water, mid-day flights between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM offer the most direct sunlight to penetrate the shallow reefs.

The left side is superior for spotting the volcanic activity on Montserrat in the distance. During morning flights, the sun is behind you, highlighting the lush green slopes of Nevis. Ensure your window is clear, as these regional flights often use smaller aircraft like the Twin Otter where you are closer to the glass.
