Marie-Galante
The distinctively round 'Galette' island visible shortly after departing Pointe-à-Pitre.
Morne Diablotins
Dominica's highest mountain, often shrouded in misty rainforest clouds as you fly past.
Mount Pelée
The dramatic and historically significant volcano dominating the northern landscape of Martinique.
Fort-de-France Harbor
A sweeping view of the bustling capital city and its protected bay during the final descent.
Atlantic Divide
The visual contrast between the deep indigo Atlantic Ocean and the lighter coastal shallows.
Request a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the volcanic peaks. Morning flights (08:00–10:00) are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the islands, making the lush rainforest greenery appear more vibrant. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the channel south of Guadeloupe.

The right side is superior for sunset flights, providing spectacular orange and pink hues over the Caribbean Sea. It also offers better views of the 'Les Saintes' islands immediately after takeoff from PTP. If the wind requires a northern approach into FDF, the right side will see the coastal cliffs of northern Martinique.
