Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the intricate Bahamian reefs, the diverse landscape of the US Eastern Seaboard, and the iconic approach over the St. Lawrence River into Montreal.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Guardalavaca Coast

Stunning aerial views of Cuba's northern white-sand beaches immediately after departure.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Exuma Cays

Vibrant turquoise waters and sandbars of the central Bahamas, visible shortly into the flight.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

US East Coast

Potential views of major metropolitan areas like Washington D.C. or New York City depending on the inland track.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Adirondack Park

The rugged, forested high peaks of Upstate New York during the transition into Canadian airspace.

๐ŸŒ‰

Montreal Skyline

A breathtaking view of Mount Royal and the downtown core during the final approach to YUL.

On afternoon flights, the sun is positioned to the west, perfectly illuminating the coastline without glare. For the most iconic arrival, the left side usually faces the Montreal city center when landing on the commonly used Runways 24L/R.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Great Abaco

The easternmost edge of the Bahamas where the shallow reefs meet the deep Atlantic blue.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Outer Banks

The distinctive thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands visible across the ocean.

โ›ด๏ธ

Long Island Sound

Views of the shoreline where the Atlantic meets the Connecticut and New York coasts.

๐ŸŒฒ

Green Mountains

The rolling, verdant ridges of Vermont as the flight path moves north toward Quebec.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

Montรฉrรฉgie Plains

The patchwork of agricultural fields and small towns in southern Quebec during descent.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. It offers a more tranquil view of the sea and the Appalachian range, though it misses the primary city views upon arrival.
