Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the vibrant turquoise waters of the Bahamas archipelago and the dramatic entry over Trinidad's lush Northern Range during the final descent.
Exuma Cays
Aerial views of the iconic sapphire-blue waters and swirling sandbars of the central Bahamas.
Turks and Caicos
Glittering coral reefs and deep-sea trenches visible as the flight transitions toward the open Caribbean.
Haitian Coastline
Rugged, mountainous peninsulas of western Hispaniola standing out against the deep blue sea.
Caribbean Deep
The striking color change as the aircraft passes over the deep-water channels south of the Greater Antilles.
Trinidad Northern Range
A close-up view of the dense, emerald-green rainforest canopy during the approach into Piarco.
Book an early morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Bahamian reefs. On the descent into POS, the left side typically offers a sweeping view of the Maracas Valley and the northern coastline. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the island's topography.
Florida Keys
A distant view of the island chain and the southern tip of the Everglades shortly after takeoff.
Andros Island
The intricate wetlands and 'Tongue of the Ocean' underwater canyon on the edge of the Great Bahama Bank.
Eastern Cuba
The mountainous terrain and secluded bays of the Oriente region as you cross the Windward Passage.
Caribbean Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular oceanic sunsets.
Paria Peninsula
Distant views of the Venezuelan mainland and the Dragon's Mouths straits on the final approach.
Ideal for afternoon departures to capture the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. During the final approach into Trinidad, keep a sharp eye out for the Gulf of Paria and the distant outlines of the Venezuelan coast. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut through the haze over the ocean for better photos.
