About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from John F Kennedy International (JFK) to Hewanorra International (UVF)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from New York to Hewandorra. Left side wins both ends of the flight. At departure you get the full New York metropolitan panorama, and at arrival you get St. Lucia's iconic Piton peaks. The mid-flight cruise over the Caribbean offers little from either side, so the departure and arrival views are the deciding factor.
