ATL → UVF
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Hewanorra International Airport (Hewandorra)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an incredible sequence of Caribbean gems, including the turquoise Exuma Cays, the historic skyline of San Juan, and the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Lesser Antilles chain.
The Exumas
Spectacular patterns of shallow turquoise water and white sand cays stretching across the Bahamas.
San Juan Harbor
Clear views of the historic El Morro fortress and the vibrant city layout of Puerto Rico's capital.
Montserrat Volcano
The active Soufrière Hills volcano, with its distinct ash flows and steaming crater, is a rare sight.
Dominica Peaks
The dramatic, mountainous profile of the 'Nature Island' with its dense canopy and deep valleys.
The Pitons
Saint Lucia's iconic twin volcanic spires often come into view as the plane maneuvers for its landing at UVF.
This side is generally protected from direct morning sun, providing better conditions for photography. Keep your camera ready as you pass Montserrat; the volcanic landscape is world-unique. During the approach to UVF, the pilot often circles the southern tip of Saint Lucia, offering a prime view of the Pitons to passengers on this side.
Atlantic Ocean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight crosses from the US coastline toward the Caribbean.
Abaco Islands
The easternmost fringes of the Bahamas, featuring scattered coral reefs and white sand beaches.
El Yunque Rainforest
The lush, cloud-covered mountains of eastern Puerto Rico are visible during the transit south.
Martinique Coastline
Rugged cliffs and dense tropical forests of Saint Lucia's northern neighbor just before the final descent.
On morning flights, expect significant glare on this side as the sun rises over the Atlantic. This side is best for those who enjoy the transition from deep ocean blues to the emerald greens of the islands. Watch for the eastern coastline of the Lesser Antilles during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
