Which side of the plane to sit from Samaná El Catey International Airport (Samana) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the vibrant turquoise waters of the Bahamas shortly after takeoff, followed by a panoramic view of the US East Coast metropolitan corridor and the scenic Adirondack Mountains during the descent.
The Bahamas & Turks
Breathtaking views of coral reefs and the stark contrast between deep blue trenches and shallow turquoise lagoons.
East Coast Megalopolis
Distances views of major hubs like Washington D.C. and Philadelphia as the flight tracks north-northwest.
New York City Skyline
On clear days, catch a glimpse of Manhattan and the Hudson River glinting in the sunlight.
Adirondack Park
The vast, wild forested landscape of Upstate New York featuring High Peaks and dense wilderness.
Lake Champlain
The massive glacial lake separating New York and Vermont, signaling the final approach into Canada.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to your left, providing excellent illumination for the Bahamian reefs and the US coastline. Keep your camera ready about 30-45 minutes after takeoff for the best island views.
Open Atlantic Ocean
Expansive views of the deep Atlantic, perfect for spotting cloud formations and maritime traffic.
The Outer Banks
The thin, fragile strip of barrier islands off North Carolina visible as the flight transitions over the coast.
Long Island & New England
Views of the Connecticut coastline and the eastern stretches of Long Island Sound.
Green Mountains
The rolling, verdant ridges of Vermont, which look particularly stunning during the autumn foliage season.
St. Lawrence River
A grand view of the massive waterway and the South Shore of Montreal during the final landing pattern.
Recommended for morning flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. During the descent into YUL, the right side often provides a better view of the St. Lawrence River and the Estrie region. Seasonal note: In late September/October, the right side captures the vibrant fall colors of the Appalachian range.
