KIN โ GEO
Which side of the plane to sit from Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston) to Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Georgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Guyanese landscape, including the massive Essequibo River system and the dense rainforests of the Guiana Shield upon arrival.
Kingston Harbor
Excellent views of the Palisadoes tombolo and one of the world's largest natural harbors on takeoff.
ABC Islands
Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may spot the arid landscapes of Aruba, Bonaire, or Curaรงao.
Essequibo River
The massive, island-studded Essequibo River, which is so wide it dominates the landscape during the descent.
Guiana Shield Rainforest
Endless, pristine canopy views of some of the oldest geological formations on Earth.
Georgetown Sea Wall
The iconic Dutch-built sea defense system that protects the city, which lies below sea level.
Choose the right side for the approach into GEO to see the Demerara River and the floating bridge. Afternoon flights offer stunning 'golden hour' lighting over the rainforest, but be aware of tropical convective clouds which often build up late in the day.
Blue Mountains
Aerial views of Jamaica's highest peaks and coffee-growing regions shortly after departure.
Caribbean Sea
Vast stretches of turquoise water transitioning to deep indigo as the plane crosses the Caribbean basin.
Orinoco Delta
The intricate, fan-like network of the Orinoco River's distributaries along the Venezuelan coast.
Shell Beach
Guyana's unique 90-mile stretch of coastline known for its shell-covered sands and turtle nesting sites.
Sit on the left for the best morning light if traveling south, as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look for the distinct line where the brown, sediment-rich river waters meet the blue Atlantic Ocean near the South American coast.
