Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Kingstown to New York. The takeoff view on the right side over La Soufrière, Kingstown, and the Grenadines is genuinely spectacular and unique — volcanic Caribbean scenery that you will not see anywhere else on this route. The JFK landing view on the left is good but the Manhattan skyline at distance is a relatively common sight for frequent flyers. The right seat wins overall for the extraordinary departure scenery.

During takeoff from E T Joshua (SVD), sit on the Right side for the best views. ET Joshua Airport's runway runs roughly east-west. Departing westward (toward the Caribbean Sea) and then turning north, the right side faces east and gives you a clear view back over Kingstown, the volcanic peaks of St. Vincent including La Soufrière, and the chain of the Grenadines stretching south. The left side looks out over open Caribbean water with little to see. Notable sights include: La Soufrière volcano (4,049 ft, northern St. Vincent), Kingstown harbor and town, the Grenadine island chain (Bequia, Mustique, Canouan visible to the south), Young Island just off the southern tip.

When landing at John F Kennedy International (JFK), sit on the Left side for the best views. JFK sits on the south shore of Long Island. Aircraft typically approach from the southwest or southeast on runways 13L/13R or 22L/22R. On a standard approach from the south or southwest, the left side faces north and east over Jamaica Bay, the Manhattan skyline in the distance, and the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront. The right side looks over the Atlantic Ocean and Rockaway Peninsula with far less urban interest. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline (visible on the horizon to the northwest), Jamaica Bay and its wildlife refuge wetlands directly below, Rockaway Peninsula and Atlantic Ocean to the south, Brooklyn and Queens urban grid.

The flight from E T Joshua (SVD) to John F Kennedy International (JFK) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes depending on winds and routing.

The flight tracks north-northwest over the eastern Caribbean, passing east of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola (visible as large mountainous islands on the left in the first hour), then over the Bahamas archipelago (low flat islands and vivid shallow-water banks visible below in mid-flight), before crossing the Florida Straits and tracking up the US East Coast. The Gulf Stream's distinctive deep blue color is visible against the lighter Bahamian banks. The Outer Banks of North Carolina and the Chesapeake Bay mouth may be visible on the right side in the final hour before New York.
