Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Cornish coastline during departure and provides a higher chance of spotting the stunning Caribbean island chain, including Grenada and the Grenadines, during the descent into Trinidad.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Jurassic Coast

Breathtaking views of the chalk cliffs and iconic geological formations along the southern coast of England.

🌊

Celtic Sea

The transition from the English mainland to the deep blue of the Atlantic, often passing over the Scilly Isles.

🏝️

Windward Islands

As the plane enters the Caribbean, look out for the emerald silhouettes of islands like St. Vincent or Grenada.

⛰️

The Northern Range

Trinidad's impressive mountain range, covered in dense tropical rainforest, dominates the view during the landing sequence.

🚢

Gulf of Paria

Depending on the wind, the approach may offer views of the shipping vessels anchored in the calm waters between Trinidad and Venezuela.

The right side is ideal for catching the Caribbean island chain during the last 90 minutes of the flight. For the most dramatic arrival, the right side provides a stunning perspective of the Northern Range mountains. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the tropical scenery.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

English Channel

Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and the coastal contours of northern France and the Channel Islands shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Azores Archipelago

If the flight path takes a southerly track, you may catch a glimpse of the volcanic peaks of the Azores rising from the Atlantic.

🏖️

Manzanilla Beach

On the final approach, the left side often overlooks the vast, coconut-tree lined Atlantic coastline of eastern Trinidad.

🏙️

Central Trinidad

Views of the agricultural heartland and the developing suburban sprawl of the Caroni Plains before touchdown.

Sit on the left for the best views of the English coast upon departure. During the final descent, the left side is better for seeing the Atlantic surf. Since most flights from London are daytime, use a window shade to prevent glare while over the open ocean.
