Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to John F Kennedy International Airport (New York)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for its panoramic views of the US East Coast during the cruise and the high probability of seeing the iconic Manhattan skyline during the descent into JFK.
