Saba and Statia
The dramatic, steep-sided volcanic cone of Saba and the prominent 'Quill' crater on St. Eustatius.
St. Kitts and Nevis
Clear views of Mount Liamuiga on St. Kitts and the perfectly symmetrical volcanic peak of Nevis.
Montserrat
The active Soufrière Hills volcano, where you can often see steam rising and the 'modern Pompeii' ruins of Plymouth.
Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe
The rugged, mountainous side of the 'Butterfly Island' featuring the massive La Grande Soufrière volcano.
Dominica Rainforests
The spectacular descent into DOM provides views of the 'Nature Island's' dense, untouched interior canopy.
The right side is superior for volcanic enthusiasts. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the western slopes of the islands illuminated by the setting sun. Sit away from the wing to ensure a clear view of Montserrat's exclusion zone and the volcanic ruins, which are the highlight of the trip.

San Juan Coastline
Panoramic views of the San Juan metropolitan area and the white sands of Isla Verde immediately after takeoff.
US and British Virgin Islands
Expansive views across the Anegada Passage towards the dense archipelago of St. John, Tortola, and Virgin Gorda.
Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe
View of the flatter, limestone half of Guadeloupe, characterized by agricultural fields and coastal resorts.
Atlantic Ocean Horizon
A striking contrast where the deep blue Atlantic waters meet the turquoise reefs of the island fringes.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the sprawling archipelago of the Virgin Islands in the distance and provides a great angle of the northern Dominica coastline during the final approach into DOM.
