El Yunque Rainforest
A stunning view of Puerto Rico's misty, emerald-green peaks immediately after departing San Juan.
Spanish Virgin Islands
Detailed aerial views of Vieques and Culebra, known for their world-class beaches and reefs.
US & British Virgin Islands
A bird's-eye view of St. Thomas, St. John, and Tortola's mountainous terrain and bustling harbors.
Saba's Volcano
The dramatic, steep-sided volcanic peak of Mount Scenery rising abruptly from the ocean floor.
The Quill
The perfectly formed dormant volcanic crater on the island of St. Eustatius (Statia).
Mount Liamuiga
The massive, cloud-shrouded volcano that dominates the landscape of Saint Kitts as you land.
The right side is essential for island hoppers. For the best photography of the volcanic cones (Saba and Statia), book a mid-morning flight when the sun is high to minimize cabin reflections. This side also provides the best views of the Saint Kitts coastline during the descent into SKB.

Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean where it meets the Caribbean Sea.
Anegada Island
The only coral island in the Virgin Islands chain, appearing as a flat, low-lying sliver on the horizon.
Saint Martin
Distant views of the dual-nation island's northern coastline and the surrounding turquoise reefs.
Northern St. Kitts
The rugged, wave-battered northern cliffs of the destination island during the final approach.
Sit on the left for a more glare-free experience during morning flights. While less island-dense than the right, you may catch a glimpse of the remote island of Anegada and the northern tip of Saint Martin.
