Cape St. Mary's
Look for the dramatic sea stacks and cliffs that host one of the largest nesting sites for Northern Gannets in the world.
Cape Spear
The easternmost point of North America, featuring its iconic lighthouse perched on a rocky headland.
Signal Hill
As the plane turns for the final approach, identify Cabot Tower guarding the narrow entrance to St. John's Harbor.
Jellybean Row
A glimpse of the brightly colored historic houses of downtown St. John's during the final descent.
The right side is essential for the arrival phase. If the wind is from the west, you will fly directly over Cape Spear. In spring and early summer, keep a sharp eye out for icebergs and whales in the waters of Placentia Bay and the Atlantic.

Miquelon-Langlade
Aerial views of the sand dunes connecting the islands of Grand Miquelon and Langlade shortly after takeoff.
Burin Peninsula
The rugged shoreline of the Burin Peninsula, dotted with historic fishing communities like Fortune and Grand Bank.
Avalon Wilderness
Vast stretches of sub-arctic barrens and boreal forests characteristic of the interior Avalon Peninsula.
Sit on the left for the clearest views of the French territory as you depart and the interior topography of Newfoundland. This side is better during afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun reflecting off the Atlantic.
