SLU Final Approach
As the plane descends into George F. L. Charles Airport, enjoy close-up views of the Saint Lucia coastline and Vigie Beach.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. You will pass four major volcanic peaks in sequence. Aim for an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes of the mountains, highlighting the ridges and valleys. Ensure you have a clear view of Montserrat, as the proximity to the volcano is the highlight of this route.
