Which side of the plane to sit from Craig Cove Airport (Craig Cove) to Lamen Bay Airport (Lamen Bay)?

The left side provides a spectacular vantage point for some of the Pacific's most active and visually stunning volcanic landscapes, including the iconic Lopevi volcano.
Search flights from CCV to LNB
Ambrym Volcanic Massif
Aerial views of the massive basaltic shield volcano's ash plains and the plumes from Benbow and Marum craters.
Lopevi Island
A breathtakingly steep, perfectly conical stratovolcano rising 1,413 meters directly out of the deep blue sea.
Paama Island
A bird's-eye view of the narrow, lush island known for its rugged ridges and steep coastal cliffs.
Lopevi Channel
Deep oceanic waters that often shimmer with volcanic silt, creating unique turquoise and navy patterns.
Lamen Bay Reefs
Vibrant coral gardens and shallow turquoise lagoons visible as the aircraft banks for approach.
Sit on the left to witness Lopevi, one of the world's most photogenic volcanoes. Morning flights (before 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the convective clouds that typically gather around the volcanic peaks by noon. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from Craig Cove as the transition between Ambrym and Lopevi happens very quickly on this short hop.

Unobstructed views of the vast Pacific horizon where the sea meets the sky in a seamless blue gradient.
Malekula Silhouette
On clear days, the distant high peaks of Malekula Island are visible across the water to the west.
Epi Western Coastline
The rugged and undeveloped western shores of Epi Island featuring hidden coves and dense rainforest.
Lamen Bay Dugong Spots
Look straight down during the final descent for a chance to spot dugongs or sea turtles in the bay's seagrass beds.
While less dramatic, the right side is better for spotting marine life during the final approach into Lamen Bay. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side will experience significant glare from the sun, so the left side remains the superior choice for visibility and photography.
