Cape Cod & Islands
View the distinct 'arm' of Massachusetts, including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, early in the flight.
Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina are often visible as the plane tracks south along the coast.
British Virgin Islands
As the plane begins its final approach, enjoy spectacular views of Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and Norman Island.
St. John
See the lush, protected hillsides of the Virgin Islands National Park as you glide past the neighboring island.
Pillsbury Sound
The turquoise waters between St. John and St. Thomas offer a brilliant display of coral reefs and yacht activity.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to keep the sun behind the aircraft, which enhances the colors of the Caribbean sea. Sit in front of or well behind the wing to ensure your view of the islands during the low-altitude descent isn't obstructed.
