DOM β STT
Which side of the plane to sit from Douglas-Charles Airport (Dominica) to Cyril E. King Airport (St. Thomas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular parade of the Leeward Islands, including close-up views of active volcanoes and the stunning archipelago of the British Virgin Islands during the descent.
Soufrière Hills
Pass directly by Montserrat to see the dramatic exclusion zone and the active volcanic dome.
The Peaks of St. Kitts
Get a perfect view of Mount Liamuiga and the narrow channel separating St. Kitts from Nevis.
Saba Rock
Look for the sheer, dramatic cliffs of Saba, the 'Unspoiled Queen,' rising vertically from the sea.
British Virgin Islands
Observe the dense cluster of islands including Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Virgin Gorda.
St. John
A close-up view of the protected National Park lands and white sand beaches of St. John on final approach.
Sit on the right side for the 'Island Hopper' experience. Most flights follow a path west of the islands, making the right side the window into the volcanic chain. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the green mountain slopes without glare from the sun.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep turquoise Caribbean Sea stretching toward Central America.
St. Croix Silhouette
On clear days, the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands is visible to the south during the final leg.
Sunset Spectacle
For late afternoon flights, this side provides a direct view of the sun dipping into the ocean.
Water Island
As you land at STT, look for the small, tranquil Water Island just off the coast of Charlotte Amalie.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset, or if you prefer the calming, open expanse of the Caribbean Sea. It is generally less busy visually than the right side.
