Dog Island & Prickly Pear
Immediate views of Anguilla's remote northern cays and protected marine parks.
British Virgin Islands
Stunning views of Virgin Gorda, the famous 'Baths' rock formations, and the hilly terrain of Tortola.
US Virgin Islands
Clear sights of St. John's Trunk Bay and the bustling harbor of Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas.
Old San Juan
During the descent into SJU, look for the historic fortresses of El Morro and San Cristobal guarding the harbor entrance.
The Right Side is the clear winner for island hoppers. For the best photography of the coral reefs in the BVI, a midday flight (11 AM - 2 PM) provides the most vertical light to penetrate the clear water. During the final approach, keep your camera ready for the colorful colonial buildings of Old San Juan.

St. Martin Views
Shortly after takeoff, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the dual-nation island, including the famous Maho Beach area.
Anegada Passage
Crossing the deep waters that separate the Leeward Islands from the Greater Antilles.
Culebra and Vieques
Aerial perspectives of the Spanish Virgin Islands, known for Flamenco Beach and bioluminescent bays.
El Yunque Rainforest
As you approach Puerto Rico, the lush, mist-covered peaks of the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System appear.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of St. Martin's Simpson Bay. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set over the Caribbean Sea, though glare can be a factor.
