Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Charlotte to Hewandorra. While the right side has a decent Charlotte departure view, the left side delivers the dramatic payoff at landing with the Pitons — one of the most visually striking approaches in the Caribbean. Over the ocean cruise portion both sides are similar, but the left side's arrival view over St. Lucia's volcanic interior is the highlight of the flight.

During takeoff from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Charlotte Douglas primarily uses runways 18C/36C and 18L/36L. Departures heading south toward the Caribbean typically use runway 18 headings, meaning the aircraft tracks southward. A right-side seat gives views over the Charlotte skyline and the Piedmont region as the plane climbs and banks southeast. Left side faces west toward less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Charlotte skyline (uptown), Lake Norman to the north, Catawba River corridor, Piedmont rolling hills.

When landing at Hewanorra International (UVF), sit on the Left side for the best views. Hewanorra International sits at the southern tip of St. Lucia, and aircraft typically approach from the south or southeast over the Caribbean Sea, landing on runway 10/28. Approaching on runway 10 (heading roughly west), the left side faces north up the island, giving a clear view of the Piton mountains and the lush volcanic interior. The right side looks south over open ocean. Notable sights include: Gros Piton and Petit Piton volcanic peaks, Soufriere town on the west coast, St. Lucia's forested central ridge, Caribbean Sea coastline.

The flight from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) to Hewanorra International (UVF) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

After leaving the Carolinas, the flight crosses over the Bahamas archipelago (visible as shallow turquoise banks and scattered cays), then the deep blue of the open Caribbean Sea. Hispaniola's mountainous terrain including the Cordillera Central may be visible to the west depending on routing. Puerto Rico and the Lesser Antilles chain come into view as the flight descends toward St. Lucia, with Martinique visible to the north of St. Lucia on approach.
