Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic entrance to Saint Vincent, showcasing the massive La Soufrière volcano and the lush, rugged northern coastline as you descend into Argyle International.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💎

Platinum Coast

View of Barbados' exclusive western shore, known for white sand beaches and luxury villas.

🌋

La Soufrière

A stunning perspective of the active stratovolcano that dominates the northern half of Saint Vincent.

🌿

Verdant Interior

The dense, tropical rainforest and jagged mountain ridges of the central Saint Vincent mountain range.

🌊

Windward Cliffs

The dramatic, wave-battered volcanic cliffs along the eastern 'windward' coast of the island.

The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. As the plane approaches Saint Vincent from the east, you will pass directly by the northern craters. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the lush green mountain slopes, though cloud cover often gathers around the peaks by midday, so early flights are best for clear summit views.

Left Side Highlights

🏖️

Barbados South Coast

Aerial views of the popular beaches of Oistins and the turquoise reefs of Carlisle Bay upon takeoff.

🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Caribbean Sea during the short cruise segment.

⛵

Grenadines Chain

On a clear day, look south during the descent to spot Bequia and the northern Grenadine islands on the horizon.

🏙️

Kingstown Outskirts

View of the southern tip of Saint Vincent and the bustling outskirts of the capital city during final approach.

Sit on the left for a view of the southern coastline of Barbados and a distant look at the Grenadines. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh glare reflecting off the sea in the afternoon. Look for the distinct color change where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean shelf.
