Which side of the plane to sit from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan) to V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous panorama of the Lesser Antilles, featuring volcanic peaks, coral reefs, and the famous 'island-hopping' aesthetic typical of the Caribbean.
Search flights from SJU to ANU
Vieques & Culebra
Immediately after takeoff, see the stunning reefs and white sands of Puerto Rico's sister islands.
Virgin Gorda
Clear views of The Baths and the jagged 'Fat Virgin' silhouette of this iconic island.
St. Kitts & Nevis
Towering views of Mount Liamuiga and the perfectly symmetrical cone of Nevis Peak.
Redonda
The dramatic, uninhabited volcanic rock jutting out of the Caribbean Sea.
Montserrat
Often visible in the distance is the Soufriere Hills Volcano and its steam plumes.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Sit here for a front-row seat to the volcanic arc of the Caribbean. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to capture the full silhouettes of St. Kitts and Nevis mid-flight.

Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean meeting the turquoise coastal shelves.
Anegada Passage
The deep water channel between the British Virgin Islands and the northern Leeward Islands.
Antigua's North Shore
On approach, view the intricate coastline and upscale resorts of Hodges Bay and Dickenson Bay.
Guiana Island
The wildlife-rich coastal islands just off the northeastern tip of Antigua during the final descent.
Choose the left side if you want to avoid direct sun glare during afternoon flights. It offers a more serene view of the open ocean and a great perspective of Antigua's northern reef systems upon landing. Keep an eye out for Anegada, the only coral atoll in the chain, visible to the far north.
