Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an incredible perspective of the Venezuelan mainland, including the rugged Paria Peninsula and the southern coastline of Margarita Island.
Gulf of Paria
The tranquil body of water separating Trinidad from the South American continent, visible immediately after departure.
Paria Peninsula
Dense, mountainous rainforests of Venezuela's northern coast that provide a dramatic emerald backdrop against the sea.
Güiria Coastline
The small port towns and fishing villages along the Venezuelan coast as the flight proceeds westward.
South Margarita Shore
Bird's eye views of the beaches and salt flats located on the southern edge of Margarita Island during descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Venezuelan mainland. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will be away from the direct sun, making photography of the Paria National Park much easier. Watch for the change in water color where the Orinoco river sediments meet the Caribbean.
The Bocas Islands
The Dragon's Mouth islands, including Chacachacare, which mark the narrow passage between Trinidad and Venezuela.
Open Caribbean
Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea stretching toward the northern horizon.
Los Frailes Archipelago
A group of small, craggy volcanic islets that appear on the right just before the final approach into Porlamar.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic behind you. It offers the best view of the Northern Range of Trinidad during takeoff from Piarco. Keep an eye out for the white-capped waves of the Caribbean during the mid-flight segment.
