Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled approach into the Caribbean, showcasing the lush island chain of the Lesser Antilles and the iconic volcanic peaks of Saint Lucia during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights

๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

Snowdonia National Park

Stunning views of the Welsh mountains and the Menai Strait as the plane heads toward the Celtic Sea.

๐ŸŒ…

Mid-Atlantic Sunset

On late afternoon flights, the right side captures the full transition of colors across the horizon.

๐ŸŒ‹

Martinique Peak

As you descend, look for the towering silhouette of Mount Pelรฉe on the neighboring island of Martinique.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

The Pitons

If the approach circles from the north, you may catch a glimpse of the famous twin volcanic spires on Saint Lucia's west coast.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for the arrival phase. Most flights from the UK approach St. Lucia from the North/Northeast, meaning the island chain (Antigua, Guadeloupe, Dominica, and Martinique) appears out of the right window. Be sure to have your camera ready during the last 45 minutes of the flight. However, be prepared for more direct sunlight during the middle of the flight.

Northwest England

Clear views of the Greater Manchester area and the Cheshire plains shortly after departure from MAN.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Cornish Peninsula

If the flight path tracks south, you will see the jagged coastline and sandy beaches of Cornwall before crossing the Atlantic.

๐ŸŒŠ

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the vast ocean; this side typically avoids direct glare from the sun on westbound afternoon flights.

๐ŸŒด

Saint Lucia East Coast

Views of the rugged, Atlantic-facing cliffs and the crashing surf of the island's windward side during the final approach.

Sit on the left side to stay out of the direct sun for the majority of this 8-9 hour westbound journey. It is the best side for photography if you want to avoid wing-reflection glare. While the views are mostly oceanic, the initial departure over the UK and the final view of the Atlantic waves hitting St. Lucia are quite dramatic.
