Which side of the plane to sit from Hewanorra International Airport (Hewandorra) to Piarco International Airport (Port-of-spain)?
Right Side of the Plane
Flying south from Saint Lucia, the right side of the aircraft offers a magnificent aerial tour of the Grenadines chain and the volcanic coastline of Grenada before the final approach into Trinidad.
The Pitons
The iconic volcanic spires of Gros Piton and Petit Piton visible shortly after takeoff from UVF.
St. Vincent & La Soufrière
Views of the massive active stratovolcano and the lush western slopes of St. Vincent.
The Grenadines
A stunning sequence of turquoise waters and white sand beaches including Bequia and Union Island.
Grenada West Coast
The picturesque coastline of the 'Spice Isle' and its capital, St. George's, as you head south.
Gulf of Paria
The sheltered body of water between Trinidad and Venezuela, often dotted with oil rigs and vessels.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the Pitons, and watch for the change in water color as you pass over the shallow reefs of the Grenadines.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean meeting the Caribbean Sea.
Mustique and Canouan
Aerial glimpses of these exclusive islands known for their coral reefs and luxury estates.
Northern Range
The rugged, jungle-covered mountain range of Trinidad stretching across the north of the island.
Arima Foothills
Lush green valleys and residential settlements nestled in the foothills during the final descent into POS.
Sit on the left if you are flying during the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a great perspective of the wilder, windward side of the islands and the sheer scale of Trinidad's Northern Range upon arrival.
