AGP → YUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner for this westbound transatlantic route. It avoids the harsh glare of the southern sun for the majority of the flight and offers an iconic view of the Montreal skyline and the Laurentian mountains upon arrival. The landfall over Newfoundland and the views of the Gaspé Peninsula are also significantly more dramatic from this side.

Iberian Hinterland
Aerial perspective of the rugged mountain ranges and arid plateaus of interior Spain and northern Portugal.
Newfoundland Landfall
The first sight of the North American continent, featuring rocky coves and deep fjords.
Gaspé Peninsula
Dramatic views of the Chic-Choc Mountains meeting the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Laurentian Wilderness
Dense forests and thousands of small lakes typical of the Canadian Shield north of the river.
Montreal Skyline
The premier view of Downtown Montreal, Mount Royal, and the Olympic Stadium during the final approach.
This side is ideal for photography as it is the 'shady' side, reducing reflections on the window. The approach into YUL usually follows the St. Lawrence River from the northeast; if the plane lands on Runway 24R, the right side provides a spectacular panorama of the city center. In late spring (May-June), look out for white specks in the ocean near Newfoundland, which are often icebergs.

Costa del Sol
Immediate views of the Mediterranean coastline and the beaches of Málaga right after takeoff.
Algarve Coastline
Potential views of the southern tip of Portugal and the dramatic cliffs of Cape Saint Vincent.
Atlantic Horizon
Vast, unobstructed views of the ocean, perfect for watching the sun track across the sky on late afternoon flights.
St. Lawrence Seaway
Views of the industrial shipping lanes and the rural landscapes of Quebec's South Shore.
St. Lawrence Bridges
During final descent, catch views of the Samuel De Champlain and Victoria bridges connecting the island.
The left side will be facing south, meaning you will deal with direct sunlight and glare for most of the daytime flight. It is best for those who want to see the Spanish coast during departure or enjoy the sunset if the flight arrives late in Montreal. Ensure you have your window shade ready to manage the heat and brightness during the mid-Atlantic crossing.
