Atlanta to Hewandorra is 2,014 miles (3,242 km), a flight of about 4 hours 30 minutes.
While the right side wins at takeoff for the Atlanta skyline, the left side delivers the more spectacular payoff on landing with the Pitons — one of the most visually dramatic approach views in the Caribbean. During the cruise portion heading southeast, the left side also faces toward Cuba and Hispaniola as you cross the Caribbean, offering occasional island views depending on exact routing.
Flight Path
The flight tracks southeast over the Gulf of Mexico or Florida peninsula, then crosses Cuba (Sierra Maestra mountains visible in eastern Cuba), passes near Hispaniola with the Cordillera Central range, then over the eastern Caribbean Sea past Martinique before descending toward St. Lucia. The deep blue of the Caribbean contrasted with the bright turquoise of island shallows is the dominant visual feature of the second half of the flight.
