Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the volcanic archipelago of the Lesser Antilles and the lush northern coastline of Puerto Rico before arriving in Hispaniola.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Soufrière Hills

The dramatic active volcano of Montserrat and the abandoned capital city of Plymouth buried in ash.

🏝️

Nevis & St. Kitts

Perfectly symmetrical volcanic cones and lush green sugar cane fields visible from high altitude.

⛰️

El Yunque

The misty peaks of Puerto Rico's famous tropical rainforest and the sprawling San Juan metro area.

🏖️

Virgin Islands

A bird's eye view of the scattered cays and emerald waters of the US and British Virgin Islands.

🌴

Punta Cana Coastline

The easternmost tip of Hispaniola where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea.

The right side is significantly more scenic for island hopping. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography of the volcanic peaks. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of Montserrat.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon.

🌅

Southern Puerto Rico

Distances views of the city of Ponce and the unique dry forest ecosystems of the southern coast.

🏝️

Saona Island

A stunning view of the white sand beaches and protected natural park at the southeastern tip of the Dominican Republic.

⚓

La Romana Coast

Views of the luxury resorts and the mouth of the Chavón River as you follow the coast toward SDQ.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct sun glare from the north, and look for the brilliant turquoise sandbars around Saona Island during the final 20 minutes of the flight.
