Our Recommendation
9.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

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.

Right Side Highlights
4.5
🏖️

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.
