Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic Caribbean island landscapes, including the stunning turquoise waters of Los Roques and a direct view of Bonaire before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌳

Northern Range

The lush, green peaks of Trinidad's northern mountains visible immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Isla Margarita

The large Venezuelan island known for its beautiful beaches and rugged interior topography.

🌊

Los Roques Archipelago

A highlight of the trip, featuring coral reefs and hundreds of tiny islands surrounded by electric blue water.

🦩

Bonaire View

A clear view of the neighboring 'B' island, including its salt pans and protected marine park areas.

🕯️

Klein Curaçao

The tiny, uninhabited island off the coast of Curaçao, recognizable by its iconic lighthouse.

Choose the right side for the most vibrant colors of the Caribbean. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the coral reefs of Los Roques. Keep your camera ready as you pass Bonaire, which signifies you are just minutes from landing at Hato International.

⚓️

Gulf of Paria

Immediate views of the busy shipping lanes and the western coastline of Trinidad upon departure.

⛰️

Paria Peninsula

The rugged, mountainous finger of Venezuela that reaches toward Trinidad, creating the Dragon's Mouth straits.

🏙️

Coastal Venezuela

Distant views of the Venezuelan mainland and the Cordillera de la Costa mountain range.

🏗️

Willemstad Approach

During final descent, catch glimpses of the industrial harbor and the outskirts of the colorful capital city.

Sit on the left for a closer look at the Venezuelan mainland and the unique geological connection between Trinidad and South America. For evening flights, this side will experience significant glare as the sun sets in the west; morning flights are much better for visibility.
