Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning progression of the Caribbean's most beautiful archipelagos, from the turquoise Exumas to the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Lesser Antilles chain.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Exuma Cays

Witness the mesmerizing swirl of white sand and electric blue water as you fly over the central Bahamas.

🌊

Turks and Caicos

Aerial views of Providenciales and the vast coral reef systems bordering the deep Atlantic trench.

🇻🇬

British Virgin Islands

Clear views of Tortola and Virgin Gorda as the flight path begins its descent toward the Leeward Islands.

🌋

Montserrat Volcano

A rare glimpse of the Soufrière Hills volcano, which remains active and dominates the southern half of the island.

🇩🇲

Dominica's Mountains

The lush, rugged peaks of the 'Nature Island' appear shortly before your final approach into Martinique.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on early morning departures without the harsh sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 2 hours into the flight when the plane begins tracking the island chain from the Virgin Islands down to Martinique. The sequence of islands appears rapidly, so stay alert after passing Puerto Rico.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🇧🇸

Great Bahama Bank

Vast stretches of shallow, pale-blue water that highlight the unique geology of the western Bahamas.

🏔️

Hispaniola North Coast

The high mountain ranges of the Dominican Republic, including views of the Cordillera Central in the distance.

🇵🇷

San Juan Coastline

The urban sprawl of the Puerto Rican capital and the historic forts along the northern shore.

🇰🇳

St. Kitts & Nevis

Distant views of the iconic Mount Liamuiga and the perfectly circular peak of Nevis across the Narrows.

🏘️

Fort-de-France Bay

As the plane banks for landing, you get a panoramic view of the Martinique coastline and the capital's harbor.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct tropical sun. During the final descent, the right side often provides a better perspective of the Caribbean coastline of Martinique, including the historic town of Saint-Pierre if the approach comes from the north. Watch for the 'shadow' of the islands on the water during high-noon flights.
