Which side of the plane to sit from Tanna Airport (Tanna) to Futuna Airport (Futuna Island)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior as it offers a prime view of the active Mount Yasur volcano shortly after takeoff from Tanna, followed by the dramatic cliffs of Futuna during the approach.

Mount Yasur Volcano
One of the world's most accessible active volcanoes, often seen venting ash or smoke plumes.
Port Resolution
A stunning natural harbor and historic landing site for Captain Cook on Tanna's eastern tip.
Sulphur Bay
Distinctive coastal waters near the volcano, often showing vibrant turquoise and sulfurous hues.
Futuna Northern Escarpment
Dramatic, sheer cliffs that rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean as you approach the island.
Pacific Blue
Deep indigo waters of the South Pacific with occasional sightings of white-capped swells.
Sit on the left (Port) side to catch the iconic view of Mount Yasur. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when looking north toward the volcano. During whale season (July to October), scan the ocean for breaches as humpbacks frequent these waters.

South Tanna Rainforest
Lush, dense tropical canopy covering the southern ridges of the island of Tanna.
Coral Reef Fringes
Narrow but vibrant coral reef structures visible through the clear water near the Tanna shoreline.
Futuna Island Profile
The unique, flat-topped silhouette of Futuna Island appearing on the horizon during descent.
Deep Ocean Horizon
An uninterrupted view of the vast, remote Pacific Ocean stretching south toward Aneityum.
While less dramatic than the volcano side, the right (Starboard) side is peaceful and provides a great sense of the isolation of these islands. It is also the better side for spotting reef formations along Tanna's southern coast if the flight path tracks slightly more to the south.
