BGI β POS
Which side of the plane to sit from Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Barbados coastline upon departure and a spectacular approach into Trinidad, featuring the rugged North Coast, the capital city of Port of Spain, and the Dragon's Mouth islands.
Bridgetown Skyline
Clear views of the Barbados capital, the Deep Water Harbour, and the famous Carlisle Bay shortly after takeoff.
Grenadines Horizon
On clear days, look west to see the distant silhouettes of the Grenadine island chain dotting the Caribbean horizon.
Maracas & Blanchisseuse
Stunning views of Trinidad's northern coastline, featuring hidden coves and the island's most famous beaches.
Port of Spain
The dense urban center of Trinidad, including the Queen's Park Savannah and the skyscrapers of the waterfront.
Dragon's Mouth
The 'Bocas del DragΓ³n' islands between Trinidad and Venezuela, marking the entrance to the Gulf of Paria.
Request a window seat on the right for the iconic 'City Circuit' approach. Sunset flights provide a stunning backdrop over the Gulf of Paria. Look out for the distinct line where the Orinoco River's sediment meets the Caribbean blue near the Trinidadian coast.
Oistins Bay
Aerial view of the famous fish market area and the turquoise reefs along the southern tip of Barbados during climb-out.
Atlantic Confluence
The deep blue meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea as you head south-southwest.
Northern Range
Vibrant, cloud-forested peaks of Trinidad's highest mountain range during the descent into Piarco.
Caroni Plains
The patchwork of agricultural lands and wetlands surrounding the airport area in central Trinidad.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun over the Atlantic. This side is also excellent for spotting the lush, green textures of the Northern Range mountains just before touchdown.
