Search flights from PAP to PTP
Cordillera Central
The highest mountain range in the Caribbean, featuring Pico Duarte, which towers over 10,000 feet.
Lake Enriquillo
A massive hypersaline lake in the Dominican Republic, located at the lowest point in the Caribbean below sea level.
Soufrière Hills Volcano
The active volcano on Montserrat; you can often see the steam plumes and the dramatic 'ghost town' of Plymouth buried in ash.
St. Kitts and Nevis
Dual volcanic peaks of Mount Liamuiga and Nevis Peak rising sharply from the turquoise waters.
St. Croix Coastline
Aerial perspective of the largest U.S. Virgin Island and its distinctive reef systems.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. To see the Soufrière Hills in Montserrat clearly, ensure your flight path passes to the north of the island. Late afternoon flights provide spectacular golden-hour lighting over the Dominican mountains. Try to sit away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic craters.

San Juan Skyline
Clear views of Puerto Rico's capital, including the historic San Felipe del Morro Fortress and the dense urban sprawl of the metropolitan area.
Tortuga Island
The rugged northern coast of Haiti and the legendary pirate haven of Tortuga Island visible shortly after takeoff.
Mona Passage
The deep blue expanse where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea, often showing distinct color variations.
British Virgin Islands
Views of the sprawling archipelago including Virgin Gorda and the distinct silhouette of Tortola to the north.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the northern coastline of Hispaniola and the northern reaches of the Leeward Islands. Keep an eye out for the white-sand fringes of the smaller cays near Puerto Rico.
