Which side of the plane to sit from Point Salines International Airport (Point Salines) to Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the departure from Grenada's scenic southern peninsula and a more intimate view of the white-sand beaches and islands surrounding Porlamar upon arrival.
Point Salines Peninsula
A dramatic view of the narrow strip of land where the airport is located, surrounded by turquoise waters.
Southern Caribbean
Vast stretches of azure water where you can often spot large cargo vessels and localized reef patterns.
Isla de Coche
A flat, arid island south of Margarita known for its salt flats and brilliant white shoreline, visible on the final approach.
El Yaque Beach
One of the world's top windsurfing spots, located right at the edge of the airport perimeter.
This is the preferred side for the approach into PMV. Watch for the stark contrast between the blue sea and the desert-like landscape of southern Margarita. Early morning flights offer the clearest air before tropical haze builds.
St. George's Coastline
View of the lush volcanic hills and the southern bays of Grenada shortly after takeoff.
Los Testigos Archipelago
A group of small, rugged Venezuelan islands visible as tiny emerald specks in the deep blue Caribbean.
Porlamar Urban Area
The dense commercial center and high-rise developments of Isla Margarita's largest city during descent.
Sit in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Venezuelan coast and islands without glare.
