Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the European mainland upon departure and provides a better angle for spotting the lush, mountainous coastline of northern Tobago during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🍇

Rhine Valley

Aerial views of the winding Rhine River and the vineyard-covered hills of southwest Germany shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Vosges Mountains

The forested peaks of eastern France are often visible as the flight path heads southwest toward the Atlantic.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The dramatic transition from the French coastline to the deep blue of the North Atlantic Ocean.

🌋

Azores Archipelago

Depending on the specific NAT track, you may spot the volcanic peaks of the Azores rising from the sea mid-flight.

🏝️

Tobago's Main Ridge

During the descent, enjoy views of the world's oldest protected rainforest stretching across the island's spine.

Choose the left side for optimal morning lighting when departing Frankfurt. As the plane approaches Tobago from the northeast, the left side typically faces the island's rugged Atlantic coastline. Keep your window shade down during the mid-Atlantic crossing to avoid the intense tropical sun glare, but open it 30 minutes before arrival for the island reveal.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🗼

Paris Basin

On a northerly departure track, the distant outskirts of Paris and the French countryside are visible.

🏖️

Brittany Coastline

The rugged, rocky shores of western France mark the final point of land before the long ocean crossing.

🚢

Mid-Atlantic Seascape

Vast, uninterrupted views of the Atlantic, where you can occasionally spot cargo ships on the horizon.

🌅

Caribbean Horizon

On afternoon flights, the right side offers spectacular sunset views over the Caribbean Sea as you reach the tropics.

🐠

Buccoo Reef

During the final banking for Crown Point Airport, look for the stunning turquoise circles of the Nylon Pool and Buccoo Reef.

The right side is the 'shade side' for much of this southwest-bound journey, making it better for working on laptops or sleeping without direct heat. For the best views of the coral reefs near the airport, ensure you are looking out during the final three minutes of flight as the aircraft aligns with runway 11.
