Which side of the plane to sit from Futuna Airport (Futuna Island) to Tanna Airport (Tanna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views as you approach Tanna, including the potential to see the iconic smoke and ash plumes from Mount Yasur, one of the world's most accessible active volcanoes.

Mount Yasur
The star attraction of Tanna, often visible with smoke or ash clouds rising from its active crater.
Aniwa Island
On clear days, the low-lying coral island of Aniwa can be spotted to the north across the water.
Port Resolution
The historic bay where Captain Cook anchored in 1774, visible as the plane approaches the island.
Tanna Highlands
Lush tropical rainforests and traditional villages scattered across the mountainous interior.
The right side is essential for volcano spotting. As the plane approaches White Grass Airport, the descent usually provides a clear angle of the ash plains. Late afternoon flights provide the most dramatic shadows over the volcanic landscape and the best chance to see the glow of the crater if landing near dusk.
