The left side offers an immediate, dramatic view of Nevis Peak and the turquoise waters of 'The Narrows' separating Nevis from St. Kitts, followed by a scenic approach over Antigua's northern offshore islands.
Search flights from NEV to ANU
Nevis Peak
A stunning look at the 3,232ft dormant volcano that dominates the center of the island right after takeoff.
The Narrows
The shallow, two-mile-wide channel between Nevis and St. Kitts known for its vibrant turquoise and cerulean hues.
St. Kitts Peninsula
Clear views of the winding roads and salt ponds of the Great South Peninsula as the plane turns east.
Jumby Bay
The ultra-exclusive private island (Long Island) just off the north coast of Antigua during the final descent.
North Sound
Antigua's northern coastline featuring a cluster of uninhabited cays and coral reef systems.
Sit on the left for the best morning light; the sun will be behind you as you look north toward St. Kitts. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 20 minutes) at low altitude, keep your camera ready from the moment the wheels leave the tarmac. In winter months, look for whitecaps in the Atlantic which indicate the strong 'Christmas Winds'.

Redonda
A jagged, uninhabited volcanic rock rising steeply from the sea, located midway between Nevis and Montserrat.
Soufrière Hills Volcano
In the distance to the south, you can often see the active volcanic plume rising from Montserrat.
St. John's Harbor
The colorful capital city of Antigua and its cruise ship piers are often visible during the approach.
Shekerley Mountains
The lush, hilly terrain of southwestern Antigua, including Boggy Peak, the island's highest point.
The right side is ideal for spotting the 'ghost island' of Montserrat to the south. If the flight path takes a southern approach into ANU, you will get a better view of the English Harbour area and the historical Dockyard. Afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare, so polarized sunglasses are highly recommended.
