Which side of the plane to sit from Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain) to Tobago-Crown Point Airport (Scarborough)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Tobago's famous turquoise coastlines, including the iconic Pigeon Point and the vibrant coral formations of Buccoo Reef during the final approach.
Northern Range
Aerial views of the dense tropical rainforest and ridges of Trinidad's primary mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Caribbean Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean horizon as the aircraft crosses the channel between the islands.
Pigeon Point
Clear sight of the world-famous white sand spit and its thatched-roof jetty as the plane turns for landing.
Buccoo Reef
Stunning patterns of the marine park and the Nylon Pool's shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Store Bay
A close-up view of the popular beach and local boat activity just seconds before the wheels touch the tarmac.
Sit on the left for the most photogenic views of Tobago's reefs. Morning flights (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) are best to avoid the afternoon sea haze and to get the most vibrant colors from the shallow waters without heavy sun glare.
Mount St. Benedict
A glimpse of the historic monastery nestled in the foothills of the Northern Range during initial climb-out.
Toco Peninsula
The rugged easternmost point of Trinidad, where the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea converge.
Scarborough Port
Distances views of the capital city of Tobago and the cruise ship terminal as the plane descends.
Fort King George
Look for the colonial-era fortifications perched on the hill overlooking Rockly Bay in the distance.
Lowlands Approach
Low-altitude views of the residential areas and coconut groves of the southern coast of Tobago.
The right side is perfect for those interested in the mountainous terrain of Trinidad. If traveling in the late afternoon, this side experiences less direct sunlight, making it more comfortable for viewing the landscape without a window shade.
