Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning approach into Kingston over the historic Port Royal and the Palisadoes, plus potential sightings of the Venezuelan archipelagos and the ABC islands.
Gulf of Paria
Aerial views of the calm waters between Trinidad and the Venezuelan mainland shortly after takeoff.
Los Roques Archipelago
Visuals of Venezuela's stunning coral atolls and turquoise lagoons if the flight path tracks south.
ABC Islands
Occasional distant views of Bonaire and Curaçao as the aircraft traverses the southern Caribbean.
Port Royal
The legendary 17th-century 'sunken' pirate city located at the end of the Palisadoes spit.
Kingston Harbour
One of the world's largest natural harbors, visible during the final banking for landing.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is superior for the landing sequence, providing a close-up look at the narrow Palisadoes strip and the historic ruins of Port Royal just before touchdown at KIN.
Northern Range
Dramatic views of Trinidad's lush, mountainous spine stretching towards the Caribbean Sea.
Dragon's Mouth
The scenic straits known as Bocas del Dragón that separate Trinidad from Venezuela's Paria Peninsula.
Blue Mountains
Jamaica's highest peaks, often shrouded in mist, visible as the aircraft approaches the island from the east.
Kingston Skyline
The urban sprawl of Jamaica's capital city set against the backdrop of rolling green hills.
Hellshire Coast
The rugged southern coastline of Jamaica appearing as the plane prepares for its final approach.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of Jamaica's Blue Mountains. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the lush green terrain. Be aware that clouds often gather over the mountains by midday, so early morning flights offer the clearest views of the peaks.
