Which side of the plane to sit from Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown) to V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic arc of the Lesser Antilles, featuring nearly every major island in the chain.
The Pitons of St. Lucia
The iconic twin volcanic spires rising directly from the sea near Soufrière.
Mont Pelée
The massive, often cloud-shrouded active volcano on the northern tip of Martinique.
Dominica's Rainforests
Aerial views of the 'Nature Island' with its dense canopy and rugged, mountainous spine.
Guadeloupe Archipelago
The distinctive butterfly shape of Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre separated by the Salée River.
Soufrière Hills, Montserrat
The active volcano and the abandoned, ash-covered capital city of Plymouth.
For the most dramatic views, book a seat in front of or well behind the wing to see the volcanic craters clearly. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western slopes of the islands from behind the plane. Watch for the stark contrast between the Caribbean Sea and the darker Atlantic waters.
Barbados East Coast
Rugged limestone cliffs and the Atlantic surf hitting the shores of Bathsheba during climb out.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward West Africa.
Antigua Reef Systems
Vibrant turquoise coral reefs and white sand beaches during the final approach into V.C. Bird.
The right side is best for seeing the sunrise if you are on a very early morning flight. While it lacks the volcanic peaks, it offers the best views of the reef structures surrounding Antigua upon arrival. If the flight path takes a wide easterly turn, you may see the windward coasts of the islands from a distance.
