Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of Puerto Rico's lush rainforest, followed by the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Saba and Sint Eustatius, and a stunning final approach over the St. Kitts peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

El Yunque Rainforest

Immediate views of Puerto Rico's misty peaks and dense tropical canopy upon departure from San Juan.

🐎

Vieques

Fly over the rugged terrain and pristine southern beaches of Isla Nena.

🌋

Saba

The dramatic, cloud-shrouded peak of Mount Scenery rising abruptly from the Caribbean Sea.

🏗️

Sint Eustatius

A perfect view of 'The Quill', a dormant volcano with a lush forested crater.

🏝️

St. Kitts Peninsula

The narrow, winding hills of the southeast peninsula as you cross the Narrows toward Nevis.

The right side is the 'volcano side.' Watch for Saba and Statia approximately halfway through the flight. During the descent, you will see the turquoise waters of the Narrows separating the two sister islands. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the green slopes of El Yunque and the volcanic peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Culebra and Flamenco Beach

Glimpse the world-famous white sands and turquoise waters of Culebra island shortly after takeoff.

⛵

British Virgin Islands

Panoramic views of Tortola and the surrounding cluster of smaller islands and cays in the BVI chain.

🛫

Saint Martin

Aerial perspective of the salt ponds and the famous Princess Juliana International Airport area.

🛥️

Saint Barthélemy

The red roofs of Gustavia and the jagged coastline of this luxury Caribbean destination.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for spotting the sprawling archipelago of the Virgin Islands. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes into the flight for the best reef patterns around the northern Leeward Islands.
