Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is significantly more scenic, providing early views of the US Eastern Seaboard, stunning coral reefs in the Caribbean, and the iconic Pitons of Saint Lucia on final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Manhattan Skyline

Breathtaking views of the New York City skyscrapers shortly after departure, depending on runway configuration.

🏝️

Outer Banks

The thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands is often visible as the plane tracks south.

💎

Turks and Caicos

Incredible views of the shallow, bright turquoise Caicos Bank and coral reef structures.

🇩🇴

Hispaniola

Vistas of the lush, mountainous Samana Peninsula in the Dominican Republic during mid-flight.

🌋

The Pitons

The legendary Gros Piton and Petit Piton volcanic spires are clearly visible as you descend toward UVF.

Secure a seat behind the wing on the right side for the most iconic photos of the Pitons. Morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the turquoise Caribbean waters without creating glare on your window.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏖️

Long Island South Shore

Clear views of the Hamptons and Fire Island during the initial climb out of JFK.

🌅

Atlantic Sunrise

For early morning departures, this side offers spectacular sunrise views over the open ocean.

🇵🇷

Puerto Rico Trench

Aerial perspective over the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean as you pass north of the Antilles.

🌊

Windward Coastline

Dramatic views of Saint Lucia's rugged Atlantic side with crashing waves and limestone cliffs.

Sit on the left if you are on an early flight and want to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. While this side is mostly ocean, it offers the best view of the island's wilder, less-developed eastern coast upon arrival.
