Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Caribbean island chain, including the colorful harbors of Grenada and a spectacular close-up of the iconic Pitons during the descent into Saint Lucia.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏖️

Trinidad's Northern Range

Aerial views of the lush, rainforest-covered mountains and the secluded beaches like Maracas Bay as you depart POS.

⛵

St. George's Harbor

The picturesque Carenage of Grenada's capital, known for its vibrant colonial buildings and horseshoe-shaped bay.

🏝️

Southern Grenadines

A stunning mosaic of turquoise coral reefs and tiny white-sand cays surrounding Union Island and Mayreau.

🌋

St. Vincent Leeward Coast

The dramatic, steep volcanic cliffs and dark sand beaches along the western edge of St. Vincent.

⛰️

The Pitons

The legendary twin volcanic peaks of Saint Lucia, Gros Piton and Petit Piton, rising majestically from the sea.

Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for the best chance to see the Pitons. On the approach to SLU, planes typically fly north along the western coastline, providing a perfect angle of Soufrière. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side to have the sun behind you, illuminating the islands perfectly.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Galera Point

The rugged northeastern tip of Trinidad where the turbulent Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea.

💎

Mustique

A bird's-eye view of the exclusive private island, famous for its luxury villas and pristine Macaroni Beach.

🔥

La Soufrière Volcano

An impressive view of the massive active stratovolcano crater on the northern end of St. Vincent.

🏙️

Castries Cityscape

As the plane turns for final approach into SLU, you get a clear view of Saint Lucia's bustling capital and Vigie Beach.

The right side is excellent for early morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. It provides a better view of the actual volcanic craters on St. Vincent and the rugged, windward side of the islands. Be aware of the glare during mid-morning flights as the sun rises in the east.
