Which side of the plane to sit from Point Salines International Airport (Point Salines) to John F Kennedy International Airport (New York)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of volcanic islands shortly after takeoff from Grenada, followed by the sweeping coastlines of the U.S. East Coast and Long Island upon the approach to New York.

The Grenadines
A stunning look at Carriacou and the tiny turquoise cays that dot the water north of Grenada.
Lesser Antilles Chain
Sequential views of the volcanic peaks of St. Vincent, St. Lucia, and Martinique as you head north.
Outer Banks
The narrow, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina visible as the flight tracks the U.S. coastline.
Long Island South Shore
Panoramic views of the Rockaways, Jones Beach, and the Atlantic breakers during the final approach into JFK.
The first 45 minutes of the flight are the most scenic for island hopping; stay alert immediately after takeoff. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, so polarized sunglasses are recommended to reduce glare off the ocean. This side is generally superior for seeing the island chain geography.

St. George's Harbor
Aerial views of the colorful capital of Grenada and the horseshoe-shaped Carenage shortly after departure.
Caribbean Deep
The deep blue transition where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean during the initial climb.
Manhattan Skyline
On specific flight paths like the 'Parkway Visual' approach, the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center are visible.
Atlantic City
The distinct coastline of New Jersey, featuring the iconic boardwalk and casino towers during the descent.
Sit toward the back of the plane to keep the wing out of your photos of the Grenadian coastline. If your flight arrives in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for the New York City skyline if the approach path permits. Be prepared for the 'Canarsie Approach' where the plane turns sharply near the ground.
