Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

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.
