Search flights from KIN to POS
The Blue Mountains
Immediately after takeoff from KIN, look out for the lush, cloud-capped peaks of Jamaica's highest mountain range.
Hispaniola Coastline
On clear days, the southern rugged coastline of Haiti and the Dominican Republic may be visible in the distance.
The Lesser Antilles
As the flight tracks southeast, you might catch glimpses of Grenada and the southern Grenadines dotting the horizon.
Trinidad Northern Range
The descent into POS typically follows the coastline, providing an aerial view of the dense rainforests of the Northern Range.
Arima & Piarco Valley
Final approach offers a detailed view of the suburban sprawl and lush agricultural lands surrounding the airport.
Book a window seat on the left (A seat) for the best views of the Caribbean island arc. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the deep greens of the Jamaican and Trinidadian mountains without glare. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up for the best shot of Blue Mountain Peak.

Kingston Harbour
View the world's seventh-largest natural harbour and the historic Palisadoes strip as you depart Kingston.
Deep Caribbean Blue
The majority of the cruise phase offers vast, uninterrupted views of the deep azure waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Dragon's Mouth
Near arrival, look for the 'Bocas del Dragón'—the series of straits separating Trinidad from the Paria Peninsula.
Gulf of Paria
Observe the busy shipping lanes and oil platforms nestled between Trinidad and the South American mainland.
Venezuelan Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, the hazy coastline of Venezuela can be seen stretching along the southern horizon.
The right side (F or K seat) is best for sunset flights, as you'll witness the sun dipping into the Caribbean Sea. During descent, look south to spot the distant mountains of the South American continent. This side is generally quieter visually but provides excellent 'endless ocean' photography opportunities during the mid-flight cruise.
