Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of volcanic peaks, including a close pass of Nevis and a clear view of the active Soufrière Hills in Montserrat.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Nevis Peak

An intimate view of the 3,232ft cloud-shrouded volcanic cone of Nevis, located just south of St. Kitts.

🪨

Isle of Redonda

A dramatic, uninhabited volcanic rock rising steeply from the ocean, once a major source of phosphate.

🌋

Soufrière Hills Volcano

Witness the steaming crater and the grey ash-covered 'exclusion zone' of Montserrat, an active volcanic landscape.

🏙️

St. John's City

A panoramic view of Antigua's capital, its colorful cathedrals, and the cruise ship terminals as the plane banks for arrival.

This is the 'Volcano Side'. Have your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for Nevis and at the 15-minute mark for Montserrat. Late afternoon flights provide the best golden-hour lighting for photographing the volcanic ash flows.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue where the Caribbean Sea transitions into the Atlantic Ocean.

🏝️

Distant Leewards

On clear days, the silhouettes of St. Eustatius and Saba are visible on the northwestern horizon during the initial climb.

💎

North Sound Reefs

Breathtaking turquoise waters and intricate coral reef systems surrounding Antigua’s Prickly Pear Island upon approach.

Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It offers the best perspective of Antigua's northern coastline and the exclusive resort islands like Jumby Bay during the final descent.
