Juancho E Yrausquin Airport, located on the tiny island of Saba in the Caribbean, is known for its stunning views and unique features. With a runway that's just 1,300 feet long, it's one of the shortest commercial runways in the world, making landings and takeoffs quite the adventure.

If you fly to Saba, this is where you will arrive on a prop plane from St. Maarten. You can also take a ferry to Saba from St. Maarten, but I highly recommend flying.

There are plenty of places to view the planes come in, but the best plane spotting location is along the Elfin Trail. You can find that in this travel guide.
