Which side of the plane to sit from Argyle International Airport (Kingstown) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the stunning Grenadine island chain and the picturesque western coastline of Grenada, followed by the dramatic entrance into Trinidad via the Dragon's Mouths.
The Grenadines Chain
Crystal clear views of Bequia, Mustique, and the turquoise lagoons surrounding the Tobago Cays.
Grenada Coastline
The vibrant town of St. George's and the famous Grand Anse Beach visible along the spice island's west coast.
Dragon's Mouths
The scenic Bocas del DragΓ³n straits separating the Paria Peninsula of Venezuela from Trinidad.
Chaguaramas Peninsula
The western tip of Trinidad featuring hidden coves, yacht marinas, and dense tropical foliage.
Gulf of Paria
A view of the busy shipping lanes and industrial activity in the sheltered waters between Trinidad and South America.
The right side is superior for island counting. Ask for a window seat away from the wing to see the transition from coral reefs to the mountainous terrain of Grenada. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Grenadine islands without sun glare.
Atlantic Vista
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean where it meets the Caribbean Sea.
Eastern Grenadines
Aerial perspectives of the more rugged and uninhabited eastern islets like Balliceaux and Battowia.
Northern Range
The lush, emerald-green peaks of Trinidad's mountain range as you approach the island from the north.
Port of Spain Skyline
Views of the capital's tall buildings and the Queen's Park Savannah during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct glare and to catch the best views of the Northern Range mountains during the descent into Piarco. Keep an eye out for the Caroni Bird Sanctuary on the final glide path if the plane loops south.
