Which side of the plane to sit from Hato International Airport (Willemstad) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of land-based features, including the colorful capital of Curaçao, several stunning Venezuelan island chains, and the dramatic mountainous coastline of the Paria Peninsula leading into Trinidad.
Willemstad Skyline
A bird's-eye view of the iconic Queen Emma Bridge and the colorful colonial architecture of Punda and Otrobanda upon departure.
Los Roques Archipelago
Vibrant coral reefs and crystalline turquoise lagoons of this Venezuelan national park visible during cruise.
Isla de Margarita
Views of the mountainous terrain and sandy beaches of Venezuela's largest Caribbean island.
Península de Paria
The narrow, mountainous finger of land that extends from Venezuela almost reaching the coast of Trinidad.
Gulf of Paria
The bustling maritime activity and industrial landscape of western Trinidad during the final descent.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Sit in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Venezuelan coastline and the intricate patterns of the Los Roques atolls. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane or on the right, providing excellent lighting for photography of the colorful coastlines.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep turquoise Caribbean Sea stretching toward the northern horizon.
Northern Trinidad Approach
Dramatic views of the rugged coastline as the plane prepares to turn south toward Piarco.
Northern Range Peaks
Aerial perspective of the lush, rainforest-covered mountains that run along the top of Trinidad.
Choose the left side if you prefer the serene blue of the open ocean. On the final approach into Port of Spain, you will get a great look at the dense greenery of the Northern Range. Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare on this side of the cabin.
