FLL → YUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional vantage point for the Atlantic coastline, the iconic New York City skyline during the mid-flight transition, and the picturesque Lake Champlain valley before landing in Montreal.
Atlantic Seaboard
Stunning views of the Florida coast, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the Jersey Shore throughout the flight.
Manhattan Skyline
On clear days, the high-altitude view of the New York City archipelago, including Central Park and the skyscrapers, is unparalleled.
Lake Champlain
The long, shimmering blue waters of the lake separating New York and Vermont provide a scenic transition into Canada.
St. Lawrence River
A majestic view of the massive waterway and the Port of Montreal as the aircraft descends into YUL.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. To see New York City, look out the window approximately 30-40 minutes before your scheduled landing. During autumn, the views of the changing foliage in the Champlain Valley and the Eastern Townships of Quebec are spectacular from this side.
Florida Everglades
Expansive views of the unique wetland ecosystems and water conservation areas shortly after departure.
Adirondack Mountains
Fly over the rugged, forest-covered peaks of upstate New York, showcasing deep greens in summer and snow in winter.
West Island Montreal
A clear view of the suburban landscapes and the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers on final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Appalachian range. During winter months, this side offers the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis if flying late at night near the Canadian border. Keep an eye out for Lake Okeechobee shortly after takeoff if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
