Which side of the plane to sit from Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet (Pointe-a-pitre) to Gustaf III Airport (Gustavia)?
Left Side of the Plane
Flying north from Guadeloupe, the left side offers an unparalleled 'island hopping' visual experience, showcasing the dramatic volcanic topography of the Leeward Islands chain.
Soufrière Hills
View the steaming crater and volcanic exclusion zone of Montserrat's active volcano.
Nevis Peak
The symmetrical volcanic cone of Nevis rising sharply from the Caribbean Sea.
Mount Liamuiga
The lush, cloud-capped dormant volcano and crater lake on the island of St. Kitts.
The Quill
The distinct, perfectly formed dormant volcanic crater on the island of St. Eustatius.
Mount Scenery
The dramatic, steep cliffs of Saba, the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Choose a window seat on the left for unobstructed views of the Volcanic Arc. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the lush green slopes of the islands without glare. Watch for the ash-covered ruins of Plymouth on Montserrat.
Grande-Terre
Aerial views of white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons of northern Guadeloupe during departure.
Antigua View
Spot the indented coastline and numerous sailing bays of Antigua in the distance to the northeast.
St. Barts Villas
Observe the upscale red-roofed villas and rugged cliffs of southern St. Barthélemy during descent.
Atlantic Blue
The deep indigo transition where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean along the horizon.
St. Jean Bay
Catch a glimpse of the famous Eden Rock and turquoise waters during the final approach maneuvers.
The right side offers superior views of the Guadeloupe coastline immediately after takeoff. On the approach to SBH, look out for luxury yachts in the bays; however, be prepared for a steep descent which may briefly tilt the horizon during the famous Runway 10 landing.
