Which side of the plane to sit from Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (Basse Terre) to Vance W. Amory International Airport (Charlestown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the capital city, Basseterre, the iconic hills of the South East Peninsula, and a direct look at the lush western slopes of Nevis Peak upon descent.

Basseterre Harbor
A bird's-eye view of Port Zante, the cruise ship terminal, and the colorful colonial architecture of the capital.
Cockshell Bay
The white sandy beaches at the very tip of St. Kitts, popular for water sports and beachfront bars.
The Narrows
The crystal-clear, turquoise shallow waters of the two-mile wide strait separating the sister islands.
Nevis Peak
A spectacular view of the 3,232-foot dormant volcano often shrouded in a 'cloud hat'.
Pinney's Beach
The famous four-mile stretch of golden sand on the western coast of Nevis, visible just before landing.
The right side is superior for seeing the urban layout of Basseterre and the transition between the two islands. Choose this side for afternoon flights to have the sun behind you, highlighting the vibrant turquoise colors of the Caribbean Sea. If you are on a small commuter plane, try to sit in the front rows for an unobstructed view away from the wings.

Frigate Bay Isthmus
See the narrowest part of St. Kitts where the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea are separated by a sliver of land.
Great Salt Pond
A large, shimmering body of water at the southern tip of St. Kitts surrounded by rolling green hills.
Booby Island
A small, uninhabited volcanic rock formation jutting out of 'The Narrows' channel between the two islands.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic and the rugged, windward coastline of Nevis.
Sit on the left for morning departures to catch the sun illuminating the Great Salt Pond. Since the flight is extremely short, usually under 10 minutes, have your camera ready immediately after wheels-up. This side is typically better for spotting the small, rocky islet of Booby Island in the center of the channel.
