ANU → SJU
Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the volcanic peaks of the Leeward Islands and a closer look at the dense cluster of the British and U.S. Virgin Islands.
Nevis Peak
The cloud-shrouded volcanic cone that defines the island of Nevis.
Mount Scenery
The steep, dramatic volcanic peak of Saba, the highest point in the Netherlands.
Virgin Gorda & Tortola
Aerial views of the British Virgin Islands, known for yacht-filled harbors and 'The Baths'.
St. Thomas
The bustling harbor of Charlotte Amalie and the rolling hills of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Isla Verde
The turquoise waters and high-rise resorts of San Juan's premier beach strip just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'island hopper's' choice. For the best clarity of coral reefs and turquoise shallows around the Virgin Islands, a midday flight is ideal when the sun is high. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best views of Saba's sheer cliffs rising directly out of the ocean.
Redonda
A dramatic, uninhabited volcanic rock islet located between Nevis and Montserrat.
St. Croix
The largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, often visible on the southern horizon.
Vieques
Puerto Rico's 'Bieque' island, famous for its bioluminescent bays and wildlife refuges.
El Yunque National Forest
Distant views of the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and stunning sunsets on late afternoon journeys. This side provides a broader view of the open Caribbean Sea and the southern coastline of Puerto Rico during the final descent into SJU. Watch for the distinct silhouette of Redonda shortly after departure from Antigua.
