Which side of the plane to sit from Point Salines International Airport (Point Salines) to Argyle International Airport (Kingstown)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic Caribbean coastlines and the vibrant capital of Grenada, providing a continuous string of island silhouettes against deep blue waters.
St. George's Harbour
Catch a glimpse of the horseshoe-shaped Carenage and the colorful colonial buildings of Grenada's capital shortly after takeoff.
Carriacou & Petit Martinique
View the lush, rolling hills and the surrounding coral reefs of the largest islands in the Grenadian Grenadines.
Union Island Peaks
The dramatic, jagged silhouette of Mount Taboi rises sharply from the ocean, creating a stunning volcanic profile.
Admiralty Bay, Bequia
Observe the bustling yachts and crystal-clear waters of this world-renowned natural harbor just before the final approach.
St. Vincent Mountains
As you approach the destination, the towering green peaks of the southern Saint Vincent interior dominate the horizon.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights (8 AM - 11 AM) to have the sun behind you, illuminating the western beaches and St. George's harbor. Watch closely immediately after departure from GND as the plane banks north; the view of the Grenadian coastline is brief but spectacular. For the best photos of Bequia, keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing.
Grand Anse Beach
Enjoy an aerial perspective of Grenada's most famous two-mile stretch of white sand immediately upon departure.
Tobago Cays
The highlight of the right side: five uninhabited cays surrounded by a massive, glowing turquoise horseshoe reef.
Mustique Island
Look for the exclusive private villas and manicured landscapes of this famous celebrity hideaway.
Atlantic Surf
Contrast the calm Caribbean with the crashing white foam of the Atlantic Ocean hitting the windward reefs.
Argyle Coastline
The final descent offers a spectacular view of the rugged eastern cliffs of Saint Vincent and the modern airport runway.
The right side is the superior choice if your primary goal is to see the Tobago Cays and Mustique. On afternoon flights, the sun is in the west, which perfectly lights up the reef systems on this side. During the rainy season (June-November), look for rainbows forming over the Atlantic side clouds, which are frequently visible from this side of the aircraft.
