CMWYUL

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking aerial views of the turquoise Bahamian archipelagos shortly after takeoff, followed by the rugged Atlantic coastline and a potential view of downtown Montreal during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Bahamian Cays

Spectacular patterns of turquoise water and shifting white sand banks near the Exumas and Abaco Islands.

🌊

Outer Banks

The thin, fragile strip of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina visible as you parallel the Atlantic coast.

🗽

Jersey Shore

Detailed views of the Atlantic coastline stretching from the Delmarva Peninsula up toward the New York Bight.

⛰️

Green Mountains

The rolling verdant peaks of Vermont providing a scenic backdrop during the northern leg of the journey.

🏙️

Montreal Skyline

On standard approaches to Runway 24, this side provides the best view of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers.

The right side is unbeatable for the first 45 minutes of the flight over the Caribbean. Use polarized sunglasses to enhance the vibrant blues of the Bahamian waters. For the best arrival views, monitor the wind; a southwest approach into YUL offers the best city views from this side.

🇨🇺

Camaguey Cityscape

A bird's-eye view of the historic 'City of Tinajones' and its unique labyrinthine street layout immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Sweeping views of the Miami skyline, the Everglades, and the sprawling urban corridor of South Florida.

🚀

Cape Canaveral

Spot the distinct coastal curvature of the Kennedy Space Center and its iconic launch pads along the Atlantic.

⛰️

Adirondack Mountains

Dense forest canopies and rugged peaks of upstate New York visible during the initial stages of the descent.

🌊

Lake Champlain

The expansive western shoreline of the lake marking the border between the United States and Quebec.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Appalachian range. This side is also superior for spotting the dense urban sprawl of the US East Coast while avoiding direct sun glare when flying north in the morning.
