SVD โ BGI
Which side of the plane to sit from Argyle International Airport (Kingstown) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the northern Grenadines immediately after takeoff from St. Vincent and provides the most iconic views of the turquoise coral reefs and south coast beaches of Barbados upon arrival.
The Grenadines
Spectacular views of Bequia and Mustique trailing off to the south as the aircraft climbs away from SVD.
Kingstown Harbor
Aerial perspective of the bustling capital city and cruise terminal of St. Vincent.
Carlisle Bay
Crystal clear views of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters surrounding Bridgetown on approach.
South Coast Reefs
Stunning aerial patterns of the coral reef systems that fringe the southern edge of Barbados.
Oistins Bay
A clear view of the famous fishing village and the vibrant surf spots along the southern tip of the island.
The right side is essential for seeing the Grenadines. When landing at BGI, most flight paths approach from the east or west along the south coast; keep your window shade up as the transition from the deep Atlantic blue to the bright turquoise of the Barbados shelf happens very quickly.
La Soufriรจre Volcano
Glimpse the majestic and rugged northern peak of St. Vincent shortly after departure.
St. Lucia Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Pitons and St. Lucia's southern coast can be seen to the north.
Atlantic Confluence
Observe the deep blue waters where the Caribbean Sea meets the vast Atlantic Ocean during the mid-flight transit.
Holetown Coastline
View the historic west coast of Barbados and its luxury resorts during the initial descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun at your back and maximize visibility of the northern horizon. This side is ideal for spotting the lush, mountainous interior of St. Vincent during the climb-out phase.
