Which side of the plane to sit from Tobago-Crown Point Airport (Scarborough) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Tobago's iconic turquoise coastline upon takeoff and an intimate look at Trinidad's lush Northern Range during the descent into Piarco.
Store Bay & Pigeon Point
Immediate views of Tobago's most famous white-sand beaches and the Nylon Pool's shallow turquoise waters right after takeoff.
Galera Point
The rugged northeastern tip of Trinidad where the turbulent Atlantic Ocean meets the calmer Caribbean Sea.
Northern Range Mountains
Dense, vibrant tropical rainforest covering the peaks of Trinidad's highest mountain range as you fly parallel to the coast.
Arima Valley
Lush green foothills and residential settlements visible as the aircraft descends and aligns for the runway at Piarco.
Book a window seat on the left for the best views of Tobago's reefs at takeoff. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the vibrant green canopy of the Northern Range without glare.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea and the maritime lane used by ferries between the twin islands.
North Coast Beaches
Distant glimpses of Maracas Bay and Las Cuevas, framed by the steep cliffs of the northern coastline.
Gulf of Paria
Views of cargo ships and oil tankers anchored in the distance near the western coast of Trinidad.
Port of Spain Skyline
A distant view of the capital's high-rises and the Savannah on a clear day during the final approach pattern.
The right side is the best choice for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. It also offers better views of the offshore islands like Chacachacare if the flight path takes a wider western arc.
