Saint Pierre Coastline
Rugged rocky shores and the colorful architecture of the French overseas collectivity immediately after takeoff.
Cape Breton Highlands
Dramatic cliffside views where the Appalachian range meets the Atlantic Ocean in Nova Scotia.
Prince Edward Island
Look for the distinctive red sand beaches and the patchwork of emerald green potato fields.
Confederation Bridge
A glimpse of the massive bridge connecting Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick across the Northumberland Strait.
Montreal Skyline
Panoramic views of downtown skyscrapers and the iconic Mont Royal as the plane aligns for landing at YUL.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Maritime provinces. Morning flights are ideal to avoid sun glare. Use binoculars to spot the red cliffs of PEI roughly 45 minutes into the flight. On the final approach into Montreal, this side typically offers the best view of the city center if the aircraft lands facing southwest.

Miquelon Island
Aerial perspective of the Great Miquelon and Langlade dunes and lagoons north of the departure point.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Vast stretches of deep blue water, often showing sea ice patterns during the winter months.
Gaspé Peninsula
The rugged northern coastline of Quebec, where the Appalachian mountains descend into the sea.
St. Lawrence Estuary
Watch for the widening of the river and the transition from saltwater to the freshwater ecosystem.
Laurentian Mountains
Ancient, rolling mountain peaks covered in dense boreal forest visible to the north of the flight path.
Choose the right side if you prefer views of the wilder, mountainous terrain of northern Quebec. In winter, this side offers the best views of the dramatic ice floes in the Gulf. This side remains cool and shaded during the afternoon flight path toward the west.
