Search flights from SLU to BGI
The Pitons
The most famous view on the route: the twin volcanic peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton rising from the sea.
Marigot Bay
A glimpse of the deep, sheltered harbor often described as one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean.
Sulphur Springs
Aerial view of the 'drive-in volcano' and the steaming geothermal valley of Soufrière.
Platinum Coast
Stunning views of Barbados' west coast, featuring luxury resorts, calm turquoise waters, and coral reefs.
Bridgetown Harbor
Clear sight of the Deep Water Harbour, cruise ship terminal, and the historic capital city just before landing.
This is the essential side for Saint Lucia's highlights. To see the Pitons clearly, ensure the weather is clear of low clouds. Late afternoon flights provide spectacular 'golden hour' lighting on the west coast of Barbados, making the reefs appear vibrant.

Vigie Beach
Immediate view of the golden sands and turquoise waters bordering the runway upon takeoff.
Atlantic Seascape
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the crossing of the Saint Vincent Passage.
Barbados North Coast
The rugged cliffs and dramatic wave action of the Animal Flower Cave area during the descent.
Barbados Interior
Aerial views of the lush, rolling hills and historic sugar mill chimneys dotting the Barbadian countryside.
Choose this side for a morning flight to avoid direct sun glare. It provides an excellent perspective of the rugged, less-developed northern coast of Barbados as the plane aligns for its final approach.
