Which side of the plane to sit from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan) to Vance W. Amory International Airport (Charlestown)?
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.
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.
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.
