Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of Trinidad's lush Northern Range during departure and provides a front-row seat to the turquoise waters and luxury resorts of the Barbados West Coast upon arrival.
Northern Range Mountains
Trinidad's highest peaks covered in dense rainforest visible immediately after takeoff.
Port of Spain
The capital city and busy harbor area as the plane climbs and turns north.
Caribbean Horizon
Deep blue waters stretching toward the Grenadines, often dotted with whitecaps.
The Platinum Coast
The famous calm beaches of western Barbados, including Holetown and Sandy Lane.
Bridgetown Port
Aerial view of cruise ships docked at the Deep Water Harbour during the descent.
Request a seat forward of the wing to capture the best photos of the Northern Range without engine heat distortion. Flights arriving in the early afternoon benefit from the best light to see the coral reefs surrounding Barbados. Watch for the distinct change in water color from deep navy to bright teal as you cross the shelf.
Caroni Plains
The flat, agricultural heartland of central Trinidad visible during initial ascent.
Atlantic Ocean
Expansive views of the open ocean and the rugged eastern coastline of Trinidad.
South Coast Surf
Aerial view of the active surf and windsurfing spots near Silver Sands, Barbados.
Oistins Bay
The colorful fishing village and market area visible during the final seconds before touchdown.
The right side is the 'sunrise side' for early morning departures, which can be quite intense; keep the window shade down until you reach cruising altitude. On approach into BGI, look for the iconic South Point Lighthouse. This side is typically quieter for those wishing to rest over the open ocean segment.
