Which side of the plane to sit from Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar) to General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport (Barcelona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the white sands of Isla de Coche, the salt flats of the Araya Peninsula, and the stunning crystalline bays of Mochima National Park.
Playa El Yaque
Immediate views of the world-famous windsurfing beach and the southern coastline of Margarita Island right after takeoff.
Isla de Coche
A clear aerial perspective of the salt flats and the sparkling turquoise waters surrounding San Pedro de Coche.
Araya Peninsula
The arid, reddish terrain of the Sucre state coastline and the historic salt mining regions.
Mochima National Park
Breathtaking views of the deep blue bays, secluded coves, and steep mountainous islands dotting the coastline.
Puerto La Cruz
The industrial skyline and the Guaraguao refinery as the aircraft lines up for its final approach into Barcelona.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare and see the vivid colors of the Caribbean. This side is superior for observing the transition from the islands to the mainland mountains of the Cordillera de la Costa.
Isla de Cubagua
View of the smallest and most historical of the three islands, known for its pearl diving history and desert-like landscape.
Gulf of Barcelona
A vast expanse of the Caribbean Sea where the deep blue water meets the emerald shallows of the continental shelf.
Cerro El Morro
The iconic hill and landmark of Lechería, which divides the bay of Pozuelos from the open sea.
Lechería Skyline
The modern residential buildings and the unique canal system of the El Morro Tourist Complex.
Barcelona Coastal Line
The long stretch of urban beaches leading directly to the threshold of the runway at BLA airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the water. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of Isla de Cubagua shortly after departure from Margarita.
