Puerto Plata Coastline
Dramatic views of the Sosúa and Cabarete beaches immediately following departure from POP.
Mona Passage
The deep blue transition zone where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.
San Juan Coast
A distant view of the northern shores of Puerto Rico and the urban sprawl of its capital city.
Virgin Islands Archipelago
A dense cluster of green islands and white-sand cays belonging to the US and British Virgin Islands.
Mount Scenery
The strikingly steep volcanic cone of Saba, the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
St. Kitts & Nevis
Parallel views of the lush, mountainous peaks of Mount Liamuiga and Nevis Peak.
Request a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the island chain. Mid-morning flights are ideal to capture the vivid turquoise gradients of the Caribbean reefs without the harsh glare of the midday sun. This side is also preferred for the typical approach into V.C. Bird International, which often circles the northern coast of Antigua.

The rugged mountain range of the northern Dominican Republic visible shortly after takeoff.
El Yunque National Forest
The misty, dark green canopy of Puerto Rico's famous tropical rainforest on the eastern end of the island.
St. Croix
A clear view of the largest US Virgin Island, sitting slightly south of the main island chain.
Soufrière Hills Volcano
The active and smoking volcano on Montserrat, including the eerie view of the abandoned capital, Plymouth.
Redonda
The small, uninhabited, and extremely steep volcanic rock island that juts out of the sea between Nevis and Montserrat.
This side is a must for geology buffs, specifically to see the volcanic activity on Montserrat. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the southern sun can be quite intense on this side, making photography difficult. If flying during the golden hour, the shadows on the volcanic peaks are spectacular.
