STT → DOM
Which side of the plane to sit from Cyril E. King Airport (St. Thomas) to Douglas-Charles Airport (Dominica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled 'volcano tour' of the Lesser Antilles, featuring close-up views of the dramatic volcanic peaks of Saba, St. Eustatius, and the active Soufrière Hills in Montserrat.
St. Croix
A clear view of the largest U.S. Virgin Island, including the historic town of Christiansted and the reef systems.
Saba
The 'Unspoiled Queen' rises abruptly from the sea as a sheer volcanic pinnacle with no natural beaches.
The Quill
A perfectly symmetrical volcanic crater on the island of St. Eustatius, visible as you fly south.
Soufrière Hills Volcano
A spectacular view of Montserrat's active volcano, including the steaming crater and the ash-covered ruins of Plymouth.
Guadeloupe National Park
The dense, emerald-green rainforests covering the mountainous Basse-Terre region of Guadeloupe.
The right side is essential for seeing the most iconic volcanic geography of the Caribbean. For the best view of the Montserrat exclusion zone and the buried capital of Plymouth, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your line of sight isn't blocked by the engine.
The British Virgin Islands
Aerial views of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and the surrounding cays shortly after departure from St. Thomas.
Atlantic Confluence
Observe where the deep blue Atlantic Ocean meets the lighter turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Anguilla and St. Martin
Distal views of the flat limestone terrain of Anguilla and the salt ponds of St. Martin to the east.
St. Kitts Peak
The Atlantic-facing slopes of Mount Liamuiga, often shrouded in a distinctive cloud cap.
Dominica Northern Coast
The rugged red cliffs of Calibishie and the crashing Atlantic surf during the final approach into DOM.
Sit on the left for the best views of the British Virgin Islands during the initial climb. This side is also preferred for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you head southeast.
