Which side of the plane to sit from Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Venezuelan coastline, the rugged Península de Paria, and the dramatic approach into the Gulf of Paria.

El Ávila National Park
Immediately after takeoff from CCS, the massive coastal mountain range rises sharply from the sea to over 2,700 meters.
Península de Araya
Observe the stark, arid landscapes and the distinctive colors of the salt pans that have been harvested since colonial times.
Península de Paria
The 'Dragon's Tail' is a lush, rainforest-covered mountain finger that marks the easternmost point of the Venezuelan mainland.
Bocas del Dragón
The narrow, treacherous straits where the Venezuelan mountains almost touch the Northern Range of Trinidad.
Gulf of Paria
As the plane turns for landing at POS, you will see the calm, sediment-rich waters of the gulf filled with oil platforms and tankers.
The right side is significantly more scenic as you hug the Venezuelan coast. Aim for a morning flight to see the mountains clearly before the daily tropical clouds build up over the rainforest. Seats behind the wing are preferred for unobstructed views of the Península de Paria.

La Tortuga Island
A stunning, uninhabited flat coral island surrounded by incredibly pale turquoise waters in the middle of the deep blue Caribbean.
Isla Margarita
View the 'Pearl of the Caribbean' from a distance, noting its mountainous topography and the bustling coastal areas of Porlamar.
Los Testigos Archipelago
A group of small, rocky volcanic islands that serve as the final Venezuelan landmark before crossing the open water to Trinidad.
Caribbean Horizon
Vast, uninterrupted views of the sea where the water color shifts dramatically over deep-sea trenches and shallow reefs.
Select this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is ideal for spotters looking for remote Caribbean islands and the northern coast of Trinidad during the final descent.
