ANU โ UVF
Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Hewanorra International Airport (Hewandorra)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the volcanic arc of the Lesser Antilles, featuring active craters, lush rainforests, and the iconic Pitons of Saint Lucia.
Soufriรจre Hills
The steaming active volcano and the ash-covered ruins of Plymouth on Montserrat.
Basse-Terre Peaks
The dense rainforests and high volcanic mountains of western Guadeloupe.
Morne Diablotins
The towering, often cloud-shrouded peaks of Dominica, the Caribbean's Nature Island.
Mount Pelรฉe
Martinique's infamous volcano that looms over the historic coastal town of Saint-Pierre.
The Pitons
The world-famous Gros and Petit Pitons emerging from the sea during the final approach.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Request a window seat away from the wing for the best views of the volcanic chain. Midday flights offer the best lighting to see into the craters. On the final descent into UVF, the plane often tracks the western coast of Saint Lucia, providing a spectacular view of the Pitons.
English Harbour
A stunning aerial view of Antigua's historic naval dockyards and coastal fortifications.
Grande-Terre Beaches
The flat, white-sand coastline of Guadeloupe's eastern wing and its turquoise lagoons.
Marie-Galante
A distinctive, circular island known as the 'Island of a Hundred Mills' visible off Guadeloupe.
Atlantic Transition
The deep blue contrast where the Caribbean Sea meets the powerful Atlantic Ocean.
Saint Lucia East Coast
The rugged, undeveloped windward side of the island featuring dramatic cliffs and surf.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is ideal for spotting the flatter limestone islands and the beautiful coastal reef systems of Antigua and Guadeloupe. Keep an eye out for the small, picturesque archipelago of Les Saintes as you pass south of Basse-Terre.
