SLU → DOM
Which side of the plane to sit from George F. L. Charles Airport (Castries) to Douglas-Charles Airport (Dominica)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the volcanic chain, including the iconic Mount Pelée in Martinique and the lush, vertical peaks of Dominica's interior.
Pigeon Island
A historic landmark at the northern tip of Saint Lucia visible immediately after takeoff.
Fort-de-France Bay
The sprawling capital and large natural harbor of Martinique as you fly northward.
Mount Pelée
The massive, active stratovolcano that dominates the northern landscape of Martinique.
Morne Diablotins
Dominica's highest mountain, often shrouded in mist, visible as you approach the island.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best chance to see the volcanic peaks. Morning flights (before 10:00 AM) are highly recommended as the clouds tend to gather around the mountain summits by the afternoon, obscuring the views.
Cap Estate
The luxury residential northern tip of Saint Lucia with its distinct golf courses and coastline.
Presqu'île de la Caravelle
A long, rugged peninsula jutting out from Martinique's Atlantic coast into the turquoise sea.
Dominica's Windward Coast
The wild and dramatic eastern cliffs of Dominica where the Atlantic crashes against the shore.
Pagua Bay
The stunning final approach over the Atlantic surf just seconds before touching down at DOM.
The right side is excellent for observing the raw power of the Atlantic Ocean. This side is particularly scenic during the final approach into Douglas-Charles Airport, as the plane descends low over the crashing waves of Pagua Bay.
