Which side of the plane to sit from Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (Fort-de-france) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the volcanic topography of Saint Lucia, including the famous Pitons, and the stunning turquoise coastline of western Barbados.
Diamond Rock
A striking 175-meter high volcanic neck located off the coast of Martinique, historically used as a naval fortress.
The Pitons
The iconic Gros Piton and Petit Piton volcanic spires of Saint Lucia, visible as you fly south along the island chain.
Saint Lucia Rainforest
The dense, verdant mountainous interior of Saint Lucia, often shrouded in light tropical clouds.
The Platinum Coast
The calm, crystal-clear turquoise waters and luxury resorts along the western shore of Barbados.
Bridgetown Port
A clear view of the Barbados capital, the deep-water harbor, and the ship traffic in Carlisle Bay.
This is the 'scenic side' for this route. Aim for a seat in front of or well behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Saint Lucia's mountains. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the Barbados reefs during descent.
Pointe des Salines
View the southernmost tip of Martinique, featuring one of the island's most famous and picturesque crescent-shaped beaches.
Atlantic Convergence
Observe the visible transition where the deep blue Atlantic Ocean meets the slightly lighter Caribbean Sea.
North Point Cliffs
The rugged, wave-battered limestone cliffs of northern Barbados as the plane begins its final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is best for seeing the wild, untouched Atlantic side of Barbados, which contrasts sharply with the calm west coast.
