Which side of the plane to sit from Tobago-Crown Point Airport (Scarborough) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Tobago's famous reefs immediately after takeoff and a more scenic approach into Barbados including views of Bridgetown and the west coast beaches.
Buccoo Reef & Pigeon Point
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Nylon Pool and the white sands of Pigeon Point shortly after lifting off from Crown Point.
Tobago Leeward Coast
Aerial perspective of the lush, forested hills of the Main Ridge falling into the Caribbean Sea as you head north.
Caribbean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea with the potential to spot the distant silhouettes of the Grenadines on exceptionally clear days.
Bridgetown & Carlisle Bay
As the plane banks for arrival, enjoy views of the historic capital and the crescent-shaped bay filled with catamarans and shipwrecks.
Platinum Coast
Views of the luxury resorts and calm, crystal-clear waters along the western shoreline of Barbados during the final approach descent.
Book an early morning flight to avoid the midday glare reflecting off the water. Sit several rows ahead or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Buccoo Reef, which is the visual highlight of the departure. This side is also best for seeing the sunset on late afternoon flights.
Main Ridge Forest Reserve
A view of the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere forming the spine of Tobago.
Atlantic Ocean
Witness the rugged power of the Atlantic side of the islands, characterized by darker water and larger swells.
Oistins & Silver Sands
As you approach Grantley Adams International, see the famous surf spots and the colorful fish market area of Oistins.
South Coast Cliffs
Close-up views of the dramatic limestone cliffs and crashing waves near the airport runway at Seawell.
The right side is excellent for seeing the sunrise if you are on the first flight of the day. It also provides a great perspective of the southern tip of Barbados, which is often more rugged and less developed than the west coast. Keep your camera ready during the final 2 minutes for the coastal cliff views.
