EWR → POS
Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior coastal views during the initial departure from the US and more dramatic scenery of the Caribbean islands and the Gulf of Paria upon descent into Trinidad.
Jersey Shore
Clear views of the New Jersey coastline, including Atlantic City, shortly after takeoff from EWR.
Puerto Rico
Views of the western coastline and the rugged terrain of Puerto Rico as the flight crosses the Caribbean.
Gulf of Paria
The calm waters between Trinidad and Venezuela, often dotted with shipping vessels and oil platforms.
Venezuelan Coast
On clear days, the distant mountains of the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela are visible to the west.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. During descent, look for the change in water color from deep Caribbean blue to the silt-rich waters of the Orinoco Delta influence near Trinidad. It also offers the best chance to see the South American mainland on the horizon.
NYC Skyline
Distant views of Manhattan and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge shortly after departure.
Atlantic Ocean
Deep blue expanses of the open ocean for the majority of the mid-flight duration.
The Virgin Islands
Aerial glimpses of the US and British Virgin Islands as the flight paths south toward the Lesser Antilles.
Northern Range
The lush, emerald-green peaks of Trinidad's Northern Range visible during the final approach.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunrises during early morning flights. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the day to avoid harsh glare from the Atlantic reflection. This side provides a great view of the rugged north coast of Trinidad just before landing.
