Which side of the plane to sit from Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (Tortola) to Douglas-Charles Airport (Dominica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic backbone of the Lesser Antilles, including the spectacular peaks of Saba, St. Kitts, and the active Soufrière Hills in Montserrat.
Saba
The sheer cliffs of Mount Scenery rising 887 meters straight out of the sea create a striking profile.
St. Kitts and Nevis
The perfectly formed volcanic cones of Mount Liamuiga and Nevis Peak are highlight features of the mid-route.
Montserrat
View the dramatic ash-covered landscape and the smoking dome of the Soufrière Hills Volcano.
Guadeloupe Mountains
The lush, cloud-forested peaks of Basse-Terre provide a verdant backdrop as you approach Dominica.
Les Saintes
A beautiful cluster of small islands and bays located just south of Guadeloupe's main islands.
The right side is essential for seeing the most dramatic volcanic terrain. On afternoon flights, the western sun illuminates the mountain ridges of St. Kitts and Montserrat beautifully. Look specifically for the 'Buried City' of Plymouth on Montserrat as you pass south of the island.
Virgin Gorda
The famous granite boulders of The Baths and Gorda Peak are visible shortly after departure from Tortola.
Anguilla and St. Martin
View the expansive white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons of the northern Leeward Islands.
Antigua Coastline
The rugged eastern coast and historic naval harbors are often visible on the horizon during the mid-flight segment.
Atlantic Horizon
The deep blue contrast of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the Caribbean Sea along the island chain.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is best for spotting coral reef formations and the flatter limestone islands of the archipelago. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of the BVI.
