Which side of the plane to sit from Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Northern Range of Trinidad and the scenic departure from Isla Margarita, including the Los Frailes archipelago.
Margarita North Coast
Dramatic views of the coastline of Isla Margarita and the beaches of Playa El Agua shortly after takeoff.
Los Frailes Archipelago
A cluster of small, rocky islands and islets visible as the aircraft heads east towards the open Caribbean.
Dragon's Mouths
The 'Bocas del Dragón' straits where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Paria between Venezuela and Trinidad.
Northern Range
Trinidad's highest mountain range stretching along the north coast, often shrouded in misty rainforest clouds.
North Coast Beaches
Stunning aerial views of Maracas Bay and Las Cuevas if the aircraft follows a northerly approach path to Piarco.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Caribbean horizon. If the plane approaches from the north, you will see the famous Maracas Bay. Early morning flights are ideal as the sun rises behind Trinidad, illuminating the Venezuelan islands you leave behind.
Isla de Coche
Views of the flatter, white-sand island of Coche located just south of Margarita during the initial climb.
Paria Peninsula
The long, mountainous finger of the Venezuelan mainland extending toward Trinidad, part of the Península de Paria National Park.
Gulf of Paria
The calm, turquoise waters between the two countries, often dotted with oil tankers and industrial shipping vessels.
Port of Spain
The capital city of Trinidad and Tobago, including the Queen's Park Savannah and high-rise financial buildings.
Caroni Swamp
A vast mangrove wetland visible just before touchdown, home to the national bird, the Scarlet Ibis.
The right side is better for seeing the Venezuelan mainland and the industrial heart of the Gulf of Paria. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare; however, the sunset views over the Gulf of Paria during late-day arrivals are spectacular.
