Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Hewandorra. The right side wins at takeoff with the Florida Keys and Biscayne Bay, but the left side delivers the Piton approach into St. Lucia, which is one of the most dramatic airport approaches in the Caribbean. Over the open ocean cruise phase, neither side has a significant advantage, but the left side also picks up occasional views of the Lesser Antilles islands — Martinique and Dominica — as the route tracks southeast.

During takeoff from Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. MIA typically departs east on runway 08R/09, then turns southeast toward the Caribbean. The right side gives you a clear view over Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys chain stretching southwest, and the turquoise shallow waters of the Florida Straits. The left side faces inland toward the Everglades, which is flat and featureless at altitude. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay and its barrier islands, the Florida Keys chain, downtown Miami skyline receding behind, the vivid color contrast of the Florida Straits.

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. Aircraft typically approach from the north or northwest, landing on runway 10 heading east. On the left side you get the dramatic view of the Piton mountains — Gros Piton and Petit Piton — rising sharply from the west coast, which are the most visually striking features on the island. The right side faces open Caribbean Sea. Notable sights include: Gros Piton and Petit Piton volcanic peaks on the west coast, the lush green ridgeline of the central highlands, Vieux Fort Bay and the southern coastline, the town of Vieux Fort below the airport.

The flight from Miami International (MIA) to Hewanorra International (UVF) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours.

The flight tracks southeast across the Caribbean Sea, passing over or near the Bahamas early in the flight, then open ocean. The route passes west of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, then through the Lesser Antilles chain. Martinique is visible roughly 25 miles north of St. Lucia on descent, and Dominica and Guadeloupe may be visible further north on clear days. The water transitions from the shallow turquoise of the Bahamas Bank to the deep cobalt blue of the open Caribbean.
