Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to Point Salines International Airport (Point Salines)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Trinidad's dramatic Northern Range upon departure and a stunning perspective of Grenada's verdant southern coast and the iconic St. George's harbor during the descent.
Northern Range
Immediately after takeoff, fly alongside Trinidad's highest mountain peaks covered in dense rainforest.
North Coast Beaches
Spot the famous white sands of Maracas and Las Cuevas bays nestled against the mountains.
Atlantic Confluence
Observe where the dark blue Atlantic Ocean meets the brighter Caribbean Sea near the Toco lighthouse.
Grenada South Coast
Stunning views of the deeply indented bays and white-sand beaches of southern Grenada.
St. George's Harbor
As the plane banks for landing, catch a glimpse of the colorful horseshoe-shaped harbor of the capital city.
The right side is generally the winner for this short hop. Sitting just behind the wing prevents the engine from blocking the view of the Northern Range. For the best photography of Grenada's coastline, morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the green hills and blue water.
Chaguaramas Peninsula
View the western tip of Trinidad, known for its yachting marinas and lush valleys.
Bocas del DragΓ³n
The 'Dragon's Mouths' straits separating Trinidad from Venezuela's Paria Peninsula.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea, ideal for spotting passing cargo ships.
Glover Island
A small, uninhabited island just off the south coast of Grenada visible during final approach.
Point Salines Peninsula
A clear view of the narrow southwestern tip of Grenada where the airport is located.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. It also provides a better view of the Bocas Islands shortly after takeoff from Piarco. Keep an eye out for the Venezuelan coastline on very clear days during the initial climb.
