Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the lush, volcanic terrain of Basse-Terre in Guadeloupe and a stunning perspective of the rugged, mountainous northern coastline of Dominica upon approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

La Soufrière

Dramatic views of Guadeloupe’s active volcano towering over the lush rainforests of Basse-Terre.

🏝️

Les Saintes

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's most beautiful bays and the picturesque archipelago south of Guadeloupe.

⛰️

Morne Diablotins

As you approach Dominica, see the highest peak of the island shrouded in tropical mist.

🌿

Dominica Forest Reserve

Dense, untouched prehistoric rainforests that cover the northern slopes of the Nature Isle.

The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Try to book a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of La Soufrière volcano shortly after takeoff. On the final descent into DOM, the plane often hugs the coastline, providing an intimate view of the dense jungle.

🏖️

Grande-Terre Coastline

Aerial views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise lagoons of southern Guadeloupe.

🥞

Marie-Galante

The 'Pancake Island' is often visible to the east, showing its unique circular shape and rural landscape.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views where the Caribbean Sea meets the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

✈️

Douglas-Charles Approach

A close-up look at the crashing Atlantic waves against the rocky eastern cliffs of Dominica.

Sit on the left if you enjoy seeing the transition from shallow reef waters to the deep Atlantic. Early morning flights offer the best lighting to capture the turquoise hues of the Guadeloupean lagoons without glare.
