DOM โ BGI
Which side of the plane to sit from Douglas-Charles Airport (Dominica) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular panoramic view of the island chain as the flight heads south, showcasing the lush volcanic landscapes of Martinique and the iconic Pitons of St. Lucia.
Mont Pelรฉe
The towering active volcano at the northern end of Martinique, often shrouded in dramatic clouds.
Fort-de-France
A clear view of the bustling capital of Martinique and its expansive natural harbor.
The Pitons
The world-famous twin volcanic plugs (Gros Piton and Petit Piton) rising sharply from the sea in St. Lucia.
Barbados Platinum Coast
The western coastline of Barbados with its high-end resorts and turquoise reefs during the final descent.
St. Vincent Peaks
Distant views of the northern mountains of St. Vincent depending on the specific air corridor.
Sit on the left (Port side) to follow the archipelago's spine. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the islands' green slopes without lens flare. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from DOM as Martinique appears very quickly.
Open Caribbean Sea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caribbean horizon and passing maritime traffic.
Sunset Horizon
Perfect positioning for spectacular tropical sunsets if flying on late afternoon segments.
Cruise Ship Lanes
Frequent sightings of large cruise liners traveling the deep water routes between islands.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the water. It offers a much quieter, less busy view, which is great for those who prefer the vastness of the ocean over land topography. Watch for the southern tip of Barbados upon arrival.
