Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from St. Thomas to The Valley. While right seats dominate the departure with excellent views of the USVI chain, left seats provide the more dramatic and geographically distinct arrival experience over Anguilla's unique flat terrain and the contrast with St. Martin's volcanic peaks. The landing view is more visually rewarding and geographically informative.

During takeoff from Cyril E King (STT), sit on the Right side for the best views. STT typically departs runway 09 (westbound). Right-side seats face north across the Caribbean, showing the full arc of the US Virgin Islands chain and the passage toward Anguilla. Left seats look back at St. Croix and open ocean with less geographic interest. Notable sights include: Charlotte Amalie harbor and waterfront (directly below during initial climb), Sapphire and Coral World Marine Park areas on the northeast coast, Water Island and Hassel Island in the harbor entrance, the ridge of Bordeaux Mountain rising to 1,556 feet on the island's interior.

When landing at Wallblake (AXA), sit on the Left side for the best views. AXA uses runway 13 (northeast approach). Left-side seats on descent provide direct views of Anguilla's approach from the southwest, showing the island's distinctive flat topography, the shallow waters of Anguilla Bank, and the narrow runway environment. Right seats face away toward open ocean. Notable sights include: Anguilla's flat limestone plateau rising only 213 feet maximum elevation, the turquoise shallows of Anguilla Bank to the southwest, St. Martin/Sint Maarten's higher volcanic peaks visible on the northern horizon, Wallblake Airport's single runway and sparse terminal facilities.

The flight from Cyril E King (STT) to Wallblake (AXA) takes Approximately 25-30 minutes.

The flight crosses the Sir Francis Drake Channel and Anguilla Passage. Mid-flight, passengers see the transition from the volcanic USVI islands to the flat limestone platform of Anguilla Bank. St. Martin's volcanic peaks become increasingly prominent on the left (north) side of the aircraft during the descent phase. The waters below shift from deeper Caribbean blue to the distinctive turquoise of the shallow bank.
