My first ever arrival in St Maarten by air and one of my favourite landing videos ever!
I've been before to SXM but as a stop on a cruise ship and since then have been waiting to return.
This was filmed onboard Air France A330203 registration FGZCA flight AF498 from Paris CDG on January 7th 2019.

A beautiful day in the tropics, some breathtaking views breaking through the clouds on descent and the condensation over the wings creating some dramatic visual affects. Then it was gear down for the classic, low beach approach onto RWY09 at St Maarten. Once over Maho beach and on the ground the runway passes Simpson Bay, on the right hand side of the aircraft which is another breathtaking beach and offers some incredible views beyond the wing of the turquoise waters, palm trees and many yachts on the shore.

Check out the full flight video of this, which includes the take off from Paris!

Thanks for watching!
