Which side of the plane to sit from Tobago-Crown Point Airport (Scarborough) to V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of the Lesser Antilles, including the St. Lucia Pitons and the active volcano on Montserrat.
The Pitons of St. Lucia
Unrivaled views of the Gros and Petit Piton volcanic spires rising directly from the Caribbean Sea.
Soufrière Hills, Montserrat
A close-up view of the active volcano and the abandoned capital, Plymouth, buried in ash.
Dominica's Rainforests
The 'Nature Island' reveals its dense, mist-covered mountain peaks and deep green valleys.
Mont Pelée, Martinique
The imposing volcanic cone that dominates the northern end of Martinique.
The Grenadines
Aerial perspectives of the turquoise waters and white sand cays of the southern Grenadines.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the island chain. This side is superior for seeing the dramatic western coastlines and volcanic peaks. Look out for the 'exclusion zone' on Montserrat as you approach Antigua.
Atlantic Coastline
The rugged, wave-battered eastern shores of the islands contrast with the calm Caribbean side.
Marie-Galante
The distinctive circular 'pancake' island known for its rural charm and sugar cane fields.
La Désirade
A long, narrow limestone plateau rising sharply from the Atlantic waters near Guadeloupe.
Antigua Reefs
Vibrant coral reef structures and turquoise lagoons visible during the final descent into ANU.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the setting sun's glare over the Caribbean. Keep an eye out for the island of Barbados far on the horizon during the early part of the flight if visibility is exceptional. This side offers great views of Antigua's numerous bays during landing.
