Which side of the plane to sit from Dillon's Bay Airport (Dillon's Bay) to Ipota Airport (Ipota)?

Mount Traitor
The prominent volcanic peak in the center of the island, often shrouded in misty clouds.
Highland Rainforest
A dense, ancient canopy that is home to some of the world's most famous sandalwood groves.
Elizabeth Bay
Distant glimpses of the deep turquoise waters on the northern coastline of the island.
Sit on the left to witness the sheer elevation change as you cross the island's spine. Morning flights are ideal as the interior peaks are usually clearer before afternoon trade winds build up cloud cover. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from Dillon's Bay to capture the dramatic ascent over the central ridges.

Dillon's Bay View
An immediate view of the historic bay and the Williams River mouth upon departure.
Cook's Bay
Beautiful views of the southern inlets and the jagged limestone cliffs of the coast.
Ipota Approach
The scenic descent into the eastern coast, showing the small settlement and coral reefs.
The right side is perfect for coastal photography. As the plane approaches Ipota, look for the distinct color change in the water indicating the presence of coral reefs. During the winter months (June-August), look for white splashes in the ocean which may be migrating whales near the southern tip.
