Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

As the flight heads north-northwest from Barbados towards Dominica, the island chain of the Lesser Antilles sits to the west, providing breathtaking views of the volcanic peaks of St. Lucia and Martinique.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Caribbean Convergence

The stunning transition from the turquoise coastal waters of Barbados to the deep indigo of the Caribbean Sea.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

St. Lucia Pitons

Distant but visible silhouettes of the iconic volcanic spires as you pass the island to the west.

๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Pelรฉe

The massive, cloud-capped volcano of northern Martinique is a primary landmark before the descent into Dominica.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

Roseau Panorama

A glimpse of Dominica's capital city nestled between the mountains and the sea as the plane turns for its approach.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Scotts Head

The unique peninsula where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet at the southern tip of Dominica.

Sit on the left for the best chance to spot the neighboring islands. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be in the east, perfectly illuminating the lush western mountain slopes of the islands you pass. Keep your camera ready as you approach Dominica for the dramatic green 'Nature Island' skyline.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Barbados North Point

Aerial views of the rugged coral cliffs and the Animal Flower Cave area at the northern tip of Barbados.

๐ŸŒŠ

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the vast Atlantic Ocean and the white-capped swells breaking against the eastern reefs.

๐ŸŒฟ

Kalinago Territory

The wild, untouched eastern coastline of Dominica, home to the indigenous Kalinago people, visible during the final descent.

โœˆ๏ธ

Douglas-Charles Approach

Close-up views of the dense tropical forest canopy and the Melville Hall River as the plane touches down.

The right side offers a spectacular view of Dominica's rugged 'wild coast' during the landing phase. Because Douglas-Charles Airport is located on the northeast coast, the right side provides a more intimate look at the island's dense rainforest and crashing Atlantic surf just before touchdown.
