The left side wins overall because the St. Lucia departure offers genuinely spectacular and rare scenery — the Pitons are among the most dramatic volcanic landforms in the Caribbean and are unmistakable from the air. The Boston arrival views are good on the right but more familiar to frequent travelers. For a once-in-a-while route, the departure experience on the left is the highlight.

Flight Path
Hewandorra to Boston is 2,067 miles (3,327 km), a flight of about 5 hours.
The flight tracks north-northwest over the Eastern Caribbean, passing near Martinique and Dominica early in the climb. Over the open Atlantic, the Puerto Rico Trench region passes below around the midpoint — no visible landmarks at cruise altitude. The flight crosses the Bahamas archipelago in the latter half, where shallow turquoise banks and scattered cays are visible on clear days. The US East Coast appears near Cape Hatteras or the Outer Banks of North Carolina before tracking up the coast toward New England.
