Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a world-class view of the Caribbean's volcanic power, featuring the dramatic exclusion zone of Montserrat and the towering peaks of Guadeloupe.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Soufrière Hills Volcano

Unrivaled views of Montserrat's active volcano and the abandoned, ash-covered capital city of Plymouth.

⛰️

Basse-Terre Mountains

The lush, high-altitude rainforests of Guadeloupe National Park and the steaming La Grande Soufrière volcano.

🏝️

Les Saintes

A bird's-eye view of this stunning mini-archipelago known for its turquoise bays and red-roofed houses.

🪨

Redonda

A close look at the uninhabited, steep-cliffed volcanic rock sticking out of the sea between Montserrat and Nevis.

🌿

Cabrits National Park

The twin peaks of the peninsula at the northern tip of Dominica visible immediately after takeoff.

Book a window seat on the left (Port side) and fly during midday to late afternoon to avoid the eastern sun glare. The flight is very short (approx. 20-30 minutes), so keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. The view of Montserrat's volcano is the absolute highlight—it is usually visible about 10-15 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Grande-Terre Coast

The flatter, limestone side of Guadeloupe featuring white sand beaches and coral reefs.

🏘️

Pointe-à-Pitre

The urban sprawl and bustling maritime port of Guadeloupe's largest city.

⛵

Antigua South Coast

Aerial views of Shirley Heights and the historic yachts docked in English Harbour upon descent.

🐚

Marie-Galante

The perfectly circular island known as the 'Big Pancake' visible in the distance shortly after departing Dominica.

The right side is ideal for seeing the gentler, beach-oriented side of the islands. It is particularly good for photographing the arrival into Antigua, as the plane often banks to align with the runway, offering views of the island's many bays. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the reef patterns in the shallow water during the final approach.
