Which side of the plane to sit from Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana) to Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas)?

Los Roques Archipelago
Stunning coral atolls and turquoise lagoons of one of the largest marine parks in the Caribbean, located north of Venezuela.
Cabo Blanco
The rugged shoreline of the Vargas state as the plane banks for its final approach into Maiquetía.
Port of La Guaira

The right side is superior for island spotting. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the Venezuelan coast. Keep a lookout for the distinctive circular patterns of Los Roques; they are the highlight of this route and are most frequently visible from this side depending on the specific flight path.
