Which side of the plane to sit from Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Georgetown) to Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Caribbean island chain during the mid-flight segment and a spectacular approach over the Blue Mountains and the Palisadoes spit in Jamaica.
Lesser Antilles Arc
Depending on the flight path, you may spot the silhouettes of islands like Grenada or the Grenadines to the east.
Blue Mountains
Iconic views of Jamaica's highest peaks, often shrouded in mist, as the plane descends toward Kingston.
Palisadoes Spit
The narrow strip of land that connects the airport to the mainland, surrounded by turquoise waters.
Downtown Kingston
A clear view of the city's skyline and the historic Port Royal area during the final turn for landing.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the most geographic variety, including potential distant island sightings and the dramatic mountainous terrain of eastern Jamaica upon arrival. Keep your camera ready as the plane banks over the Palisadoes for the best photo of the runway surrounded by water.
Demerara River
Dramatic views of the massive silt-laden river and the dense Guyanese rainforest canopy immediately after takeoff.
Open Caribbean Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water with shifting sun glints, ideal for spotting remote cargo vessels.
Kingston Harbour
Aerial view of the world's seventh-largest natural harbor and the bustling shipping docks of Portmore.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. This side is also better for viewing the industrial layout of Georgetown and the western banks of the Demerara River shortly after departure.
