Search flights from BRU to YYZ
Greenland Ice Cap
Stunning vistas of massive glaciers, jagged mountain peaks, and the vast interior ice sheet.
Labrador Sea Icebergs
In late spring and early summer, look for white specks in the dark blue waters—these are often massive icebergs.
Northern Quebec Wilderness
A vast, untouched landscape of subarctic tundra, thousands of lakes, and the Boreal forest.
Algonquin Provincial Park
The dense forest canopy and lake-filled landscape of Ontario's most famous wilderness park.
Ottawa Valley
Views of Canada's capital city and the winding Ottawa River as you begin the final leg of the journey.
The right side is the 'Greenland side'. To maximize your chances, choose a flight that departs Brussels in the morning; the sun will be behind you, illuminating the ice cap perfectly. Be aware that the flight path varies daily based on the North Atlantic Tracks; check a flight tracker on the day of departure to see if you will pass over the southern tip of Greenland.

English Channel
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs along the southern English coast.
Newfoundland Coast
The first sight of North America, featuring rugged Atlantic cliffs and deep fjords.
Montreal Skyline
Depending on the flight path, the city of Montreal and Mount Royal are visible as you follow the St. Lawrence.
St. Lawrence River
A lengthy view of one of the world's most important commercial waterways connecting to the Great Lakes.
Toronto Shoreline
Excellent views of the CN Tower and the urban sprawl of the Greater Toronto Area on descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer consistent views of the Canadian mainland and the St. Lawrence River. This side also avoids direct glare from the sun on westbound afternoon flights, making it better for photography of the Ontario landscape during approach.
