POS → JFK
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.
Gulf of Paria
Aerial views of the Dragon's Mouth and the western coastline of Trinidad immediately after departure.
Bahamian Cays
Stunning turquoise waters and the western fringes of the Bahamas archipelago mid-flight.
The Outer Banks
The distinct, narrow barrier islands of North Carolina visible as the flight joins the US coastline.
Manhattan Skyline
Breathtaking views of One World Trade Center and the Midtown skyline during the approach to Runway 13L or 22L.
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
The massive suspension bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn during the final descent stages.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see New York City landmarks. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or lower the shade during the mid-flight cruise over the Atlantic to avoid glare.
Northern Range
Detailed views of Trinidad's lush, mountainous Northern Range shortly after takeoff from POS.
Lesser Antilles Chain
Distant sightings of the volcanic islands of Grenada and the Grenadines to the east.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunrise on early morning departures over the open ocean.
Long Island South Shore
Clear views of Jones Beach, Fire Island, and the Hamptons during the final approach pattern.
JFK Airport Layout
A great perspective of the airport terminals and the TWA Hotel when landing from the north.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise without direct glare later in the journey. It offers the best views of the Trinidadian mountains during the initial climb and a peaceful view of the Atlantic throughout the flight.
