POS → SLU
Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to George F. L. Charles Airport (Castries)?
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.
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.
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.
