Which side of the plane to sit from Gustaf III Airport (Gustavia) to Cyril E. King Airport (St. Thomas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic white-sand beaches of Anguilla and the spectacular north shore of St. Thomas, including Magens Bay.
Baie de St-Jean
Crystal clear turquoise waters and the famous Eden Rock promontory.
Saint Martin
Sweeping views of the French side's rugged coastline and Orient Bay.
Anguilla Coast
The long, flat limestone profile of Anguilla featuring brilliant white beaches.
Sir Francis Drake Channel
The scenic waterway separating the British and US Virgin Islands.
Magens Bay
A perfect aerial perspective of the world-famous horseshoe-shaped beach on St. Thomas.
The right side is ideal for capturing the contrast between the deep Atlantic and the Caribbean blue. Since these flights use small aircraft (Cessna or Twin Otter), try to sit in the middle rows to avoid the engine or landing gear obstructing your photos of Magens Bay.
Gustavia Harbor
Aerial view of the luxury yacht capital of the Caribbean immediately after takeoff.
Saba Island
The dramatic volcanic silhouette of Mount Scenery visible on the southern horizon.
St. John National Park
Lush green canopy and protected bays of the Virgin Islands National Park.
Charlotte Amalie
The historic red-roofed capital and busy cruise ship docks during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the St. Thomas harbor. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the green hills of St. John without the afternoon haze. Keep your camera ready immediately after liftoff for the Gustavia yacht cluster.
