Which side of the plane to sit from Cozumel International Airport (Cozumel) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Cozumel coastline upon departure, views of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, the scenic Adirondack Mountains, and the most iconic approach into Montreal overlooking the St. Lawrence River.
Cozumel Reefs
Immediate views of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef's vibrant turquoise circles surrounding the island.
Florida Panhandle
The emerald waters and sugar-white sands of the U.S. Gulf Coast are often visible during the transition to land.
East Coast Corridor
Views of the sprawling metropolitan areas and the glowing lights of the I-95 corridor during night flights.
Adirondack Mountains
Fly directly over the rugged, lake-filled wilderness of Upstate New York's premier mountain range.
St. Lawrence River
A magnificent view of the wide St. Lawrence waterway as the flight prepares for its final descent.
Montreal Skyline
Iconic views of Mount Royal, the Olympic Stadium, and the downtown skyscrapers when approaching from the south.
The right side is essential for the best arrival views. Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed look at the St. Lawrence River and Montreal's urban landscape. In winter, the frozen river and snow-capped Adirondacks are particularly striking.
Riviera Maya
Glimpse the stunning white sand beaches of Playa del Carmen and Cancun shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Mexico
A vast expanse of azure water transitioning to deep indigo as you leave the Caribbean shelf.
Appalachian Ridges
Overfly the ancient, rolling green peaks of the southern and central Appalachian range.
Great Lakes Horizon
On clear days, the western horizon may reveal the shimmering edges of Lake Erie or Lake Ontario.
Laurentian Wilderness
Dense boreal forests and countless small lakes as you cross into the Canadian Shield territory.
Sit on the left for early afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a better view of the Mexican mainland coastline during the initial climb out of Cozumel.
