Which side of the plane to sit from Mayaguana Airport (Mayaguana) to Inagua Airport (Matthew Town)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most comprehensive views of the unique landscape of Great Inagua, including the famous salt pans, Lake Windsor, and the approach into Matthew Town.
Mayaguana Shoreline
Immediate views of Mayaguana's pristine southern beaches and turquoise shallows upon takeoff.
Morton Salt Pans
The massive, colorful solar salt evaporation ponds that dominate the Inagua landscape.
Lake Windsor
The vast interior lake known as a primary breeding ground for the West Indian flamingo.
Matthew Town
A clear view of the island's only settlement and its historic lighthouse during final approach.
Inagua Dockyard
The industrial loading area where salt is prepared for international shipping.
The right side is essential for seeing the colorful pink and orange hues of the Morton Salt pans. Try to fly during the middle of the day when the sun is high to see the most vibrant colors in the water and salt ponds. Keep a lookout for large flocks of flamingos over Lake Windsor as you descend.
Atlantic Deep
Stunning vistas of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean transition as you head south from Mayaguana.
Little Inagua
Aerial perspective of the uninhabited Little Inagua Island, a protected natural reserve.
Eastern Reefs
Fringing coral reef systems along the northeastern coast of Great Inagua during the descent.
Sit on the left if you want a better chance of spotting Little Inagua Island in the distance. Morning flights offer better lighting on the eastern side without the glare of the southern sun.
