Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled 'Volcanic Arc' experience, featuring a continuous sequence of dramatic mountain peaks, including the active Soufrière Hills of Montserrat and the iconic profiles of Saba and Statia.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
⛰️

Saba

The dramatic, cloud-shrouded peak of Mount Scenery rising 2,910 feet directly from the Caribbean Sea.

🌋

The Quill

The perfectly formed volcanic crater of Sint Eustatius, displaying a lush rainforest inside its rim.

🇰🇳

St. Kitts and Nevis

Twin volcanic peaks of Mount Liamuiga and Nevis Peak, often connected by a single ridge line from the air.

🔥

Soufrière Hills

The active volcano of Montserrat, where you can see the ash-filled valleys and the ruins of the former capital, Plymouth.

🏖️

Dickenson Bay

Antigua's famous white sand beaches and turquoise shoals during the final descent into V.C. Bird Airport.

The right side is the 'volcano side.' Keep your camera ready mid-flight for the Montserrat fly-by; it is one of the most hauntingly beautiful sights in the Caribbean. Late afternoon flights provide stunning golden-hour lighting on the western slopes of the islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Scrub Island

A rugged, uninhabited island off the eastern tip of Anguilla visible immediately after departure.

🛥️

Gustavia Harbor

Aerial views of the red-roofed capital of St. Barthélemy and its fleet of luxury mega-yachts.

🌊

The Atlantic Divide

The deep blue contrast where the Atlantic Ocean meets the shallower turquoise Caribbean reefs.

🏨

Jumby Bay

The exclusive private island resort on Long Island just off the northern coast of Antigua.

Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize solar glare. This side is ideal for spotting the high-end coastal developments of St. Barths. As you approach Antigua, look for the intricate reef patterns of the North Sound.
