A spectacular view of the Gros and Petit Piton, UNESCO World Heritage volcanic spires rising dramatically from the sea.
Soufrière Volcano
The world's only 'drive-in' volcano and the surrounding lush rainforest canopy of southern St. Lucia.
Diamond Rock
Rocher du Diamant, a 175-meter basalt island off Martinique's coast that served as a strategic naval fortress.
Fort-de-France Bay
A panoramic view of one of the Caribbean's largest bays as the aircraft descends toward Aimé Césaire International.
Request a window seat on the left for the best view of the Pitons, which appear about 15-20 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the sun's reflection off the Caribbean Sea, providing clearer views of the coral reefs and coastal depths.

Mount Pelée
The majestic but temperamental volcano dominating the northern landscape of Martinique, often visible above the clouds.
