Our Recommendation
9.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Caribbean's most iconic landmarks, including the Pitons of Saint Lucia and the stunning volcanic archipelago of the Grenadines.

Right Side Highlights
9.8
⛰️

The Pitons

The world-famous twin volcanic spires of Gros Piton and Petit Piton rising from the sea.

🌋

La Soufrière

The active stratovolcano on Saint Vincent, often venting steam or surrounded by clouds.

🪸

Tobago Cays

Stunning turquoise lagoons and coral reefs that form a marine park in the Grenadines.

⚓

St. George's Harbour

The picturesque, pastel-colored capital of Grenada nestled in a volcanic crater bay.

🐉

Bocas del Dragón

The 'Dragon's Mouths' straits separating Trinidad's northwestern peninsula from Venezuela.

🏙️

Port of Spain

Views of the bustling Trinidadian capital and its skyline against the Gulf of Paria.

This is the premier side for this route. Be ready immediately after takeoff from SLU as the Pitons appear within minutes. For the best photography of the Grenadines' turquoise reefs, mid-day flights provide the highest sun angle to penetrate the water. On exceptionally clear days, look past the Dragon's Mouths to see the mountains of the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Atlantic Cliffs

Dramatic views of the rugged eastern coastline of Saint Lucia and the crashing Atlantic waves.

✈️

Hewanorra International

A clear view of Saint Lucia's southern airport and the lighthouse at Moule a Chique.

🏝️

Eastern Grenadines

Aerial perspectives of Mustique and the exclusive private islands on the windward side.

🌴

Northern Range

The dense, rainforest-covered mountains of northern Trinidad as you approach Piarco.

🚤

Manzanilla Coast

The long, coconut-tree-lined eastern beaches of Trinidad visible during the descent.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun glare. It provides a better view of the deep blue Atlantic transition and the rugged windward side of the islands. Watch for the distinct color change in the water where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean Sea near the southern tip of the islands.
