Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from St. Criox Island to Charlotte. The left side captures the most dramatic and unique scenery of the flight: the Caribbean island geography of St. Croix on departure, the open Atlantic and island chain views during climb-out, and the Piedmont approach. The takeoff views over St. Croix and the Caribbean are the most visually distinctive portion of this route and strongly favor the left side.

During takeoff from Henry E Rohlsen (STX), sit on the Left side for the best views. Henry E Rohlsen Airport's primary runway is oriented roughly east-west (Runway 10/28). Departing on Runway 10 heading east, then turning north toward Charlotte, the left side faces west and north, giving views back over St. Croix's central hills, the Salt River Bay area, and the open Caribbean. Departing on Runway 28 heading west, a left turn northbound still keeps the island's south shore and Buck Island to the right, but the left side picks up the broader Caribbean and eventually the Puerto Rico channel. Notable sights include: St. Croix's central ridge and Mount Eagle (1,165 ft), Salt River Bay National Historical Park coastline, Buck Island National Monument to the northeast, the deep blue Caribbean Sea stretching toward Puerto Rico.

When landing at Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Charlotte Douglas primarily uses runways oriented roughly northeast-southwest (18C/36C complex and 18L/36R). Arriving from the south on a northbound approach to Runway 18, the right side faces east, giving views over the Charlotte skyline, Lake Norman to the north, and the Piedmont landscape. The city center with its recognizable cluster of towers sits clearly to the right on final approach. Notable sights include: Charlotte skyline (Bank of America Corporate Center and surrounding towers), Lake Norman to the north, the Catawba River corridor, and the broad Piedmont plateau stretching east.

The flight from Henry E Rohlsen (STX) to Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes.

After departing St. Croix, the flight tracks northwest over the Anegada Passage and the northeastern Caribbean. The Puerto Rico coastline and the island's mountainous interior (Cordillera Central) may be visible to the left in early cruise. The Bahamas chain can appear as low sandy specks far below in mid-flight. As the flight crosses the Florida Straits and enters the southeastern US, the flat coastal plain of the Carolinas and Georgia becomes visible, with the Piedmont gradually rising toward the Appalachian foothills visible to the northwest on descent into Charlotte.
