BGI → OGL
Which side of the plane to sit from Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown) to Eugene F. Correira International Airport (Georgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Barbados west coast upon departure and provides a more direct perspective of the Georgetown skyline and the Demerara River during the approach to OGL.
Bridgetown Views
Excellent visibility of Carlisle Bay, the capital city, and the Deep Water Harbour during the initial climb.
Georgetown Skyline
A clear view of the Guyanese capital, featuring colonial architecture and the prominent Sea Wall.
Demerara Harbour Bridge
One of the longest floating bridges in the world, stretching across the wide, silt-heavy Demerara River.
Stabroek Market
The iconic clock tower and the bustling riverside activity of Georgetown's central hub.
Mangrove Protection
The thick green line of mangroves that protects the Guyanese coast from the rising Atlantic tides.
The right side is significantly better for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. During the final approach into Eugene F. Correira International, stay alert for the Demerara River; it is the most striking landmark of the region.
South Coast Beaches
Aerial views of Oistins and the white sand beaches of the southern tip of Barbados shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Ocean
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses the open sea toward the South American mainland.
Mahaica-Berbice Coast
Dense agricultural patterns and rice fields along the eastern coastal regions of Guyana during the descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. As you approach OGL, look for the intricate irrigation canals and the contrast between the brown Atlantic silt and the green coastal vegetation.
