POS Continental Airlines 737-800 Take-off First Class Piarco Trinidad Boeing

Take-off out of Piarco International Airport Port of Spain Trinidad in the British West Indies on Continental Airlines 737-800 taken from First Class seat. Trinidad is part of the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. You can see some of Caribbean Airlines Dash 8s the airport and the Northern Range which is the mountain range in the background. Looks like we were the last International Flight to leave that morning as the whole airport is empty except domestic Tobago flights.

Nice video. I'll be taking one of these this summer, EWR-ORD. How did you manage to record it without anyone else noticing and informing the flight attendant? This has always been my concern.

Thanks for your comment. I never tell anyone, I just record and not tell anyone. I dont let them see me record and i know when the flight attedants need to be seated abd they never see me.

Durn, that seem like a long take off roll????

Yeah, I'm sure the aircraft is close to its MTOW. Full fuel and full of passengers and luggage. POS-IAH is a long route and on this flight, it took us over 6 hours to get to IAH. There was weather and stuff on the way. There have been times due to weather in IAH, the flight has to divert to New Orleans and Baton Rouge to re fuel. What I wonder is where in the world the flight would go if something happened in POS coming from IAH?

@techkidhelping You would think, but CO has no ops there. There wouldn't be a crew ready nor anyone to service the aircraft or take care of the passengers. I'm guess CCS is where they would probably divert or if they have enough fuel Aruba or Antigua are the next closest CO stations. Either way it would be a huge mess for CO if POS is close right before landing and POS has been close quite a few times before.

When I first saw the title of this video I thought you were implying that POS was abreviated for something else.

It would vary for each airline, but there are tons of large enough airports in the caribbean that are in reserve range,example barbados,neighbouring tobago.Good quality vid,interesting how that flight got a straight out departure,normally they get a clearance to proceed to the VOR (POS) and fly the G449 route,up to the US.
