EWR β ANU
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the United States East Coast during departure and the dramatic volcanic islands of the Caribbean during the final descent.
Jersey Shore
Aerial perspectives of the long barrier islands and coastal towns of New Jersey.
Outer Banks
The distinct thin ribbon of the North Carolina coastline is often visible depending on the flight track.
Montserrat
Views of the active Soufrière Hills volcano and the 'exclusion zone' covered in volcanic ash.
St. Kitts and Nevis
Dramatic volcanic peaks of neighboring islands visible in the distance during the final approach.
St. John's Harbor
A view of the Antigua capital and the cruise ship pier just before touchdown at V.C. Bird.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the sun. As you enter Caribbean airspace, look for the smoking peak of Montserrat. This side typically provides a better view of the US coastline during the first hour of flight. During the winter months, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the water.
Manhattan Skyline
Unmatched views of the New York City skyline and the Freedom Tower shortly after takeoff from EWR.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly stunning during early morning flights as the sun rises.
Barbuda
On the approach to ANU, the low-lying island of Barbuda with its pink sand beaches is often visible to the east.
North Sound Islands
Crystal clear turquoise waters and small uninhabited cays surrounding the northern coast of Antigua.
Sit on the left for the best views of the NYC skyline if the flight departs to the north. On the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep Atlantic blue and the shallow reefs of the Leeward Islands. Morning flights will have direct sunlight on this side, so bring sunglasses.
