VLI → DLY
Which side of the plane to sit from Bauerfield International Airport (Port-vila) to Dillon's Bay Airport (Dillon's Bay)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the intricate Erakor Lagoon systems on departure and a more intimate look at Erromango's rugged, forested interior during the descent.
Erakor Lagoon
Vibrant turquoise waters and reef systems visible immediately after departing Port Vila.
Efate Southern Coast
The transition from the urban capital to the wild, uninhabited limestone cliffs of southern Efate.
Erromango Jungle
Expansive views of one of Vanuatu's most pristine and dense tropical forest canopies.
Mount Santop
The high volcanic peaks of central Erromango appearing during the descent phase.
Book a seat forward of the wing for clear views of Erakor Lagoon. Morning flights are recommended to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup over the Erromango highlands. Watch for the dramatic change in water color as you leave Efate.
Port Vila Harbor
Aerial perspective of the capital's busy maritime hub and Iririki Island.
Mele Bay
Expansive blue waters and coral reefs stretching towards the horizon.
South Pacific Horizon
Unobstructed views of the open sea, particularly scenic during the golden hour.
Dillon's Bay Entrance
Views of the rugged western coastline and the Williams River mouth upon arrival.
The right side is best for seeing the urban layout of Port Vila during the initial climb. On arrival at Dillon's Bay, keep your camera ready for the steep coastal cliffs. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the western Erromango coastline.
