JFK β ANU
Which side of the plane to sit from John F Kennedy International Airport (New York) to V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the US East Coast early in the flight and a stunning parade of Caribbean islands during the descent into Antigua.
NYC Skyline
Spectacular views of Manhattan and the Jersey Shore immediately following departure from JFK.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina are often visible depending on the flight track.
Virgin Islands
Aerial perspectives of the lush volcanic peaks and turquoise reefs of the British and US Virgin Islands.
Leeward Islands
Clear views of St. Martin, St. Barts, and Anguilla as the plane begins its final descent.
Western Antigua
Dramatic views of the hills surrounding St. John's and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Sit on the right for maximum landmark visibility. Ensure your window is clear for the descent, as the string of Caribbean islands appears in rapid succession. Morning flights provide the best light for photography of the turquoise waters without heavy shadows.
Atlantic Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the cruise phase.
Oceanic Sunrise
Early morning departures provide a front-row seat to the sun rising over the horizon.
Northeast Antigua
The final approach offers views of the rugged, wave-beaten Atlantic coastline and offshore islets.
Choose this side for a quieter, glare-free experience during afternoon flights. It is ideal for those who prefer the tranquility of open water views and want to avoid direct sunlight during the southbound journey.
