HOG โ YUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Frank Pais International Airport (Holguin) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
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.
Guardalavaca Coast
Stunning aerial views of Cuba's northern white-sand beaches immediately after departure.
Exuma Cays
Vibrant turquoise waters and sandbars of the central Bahamas, visible shortly into the flight.
US East Coast
Potential views of major metropolitan areas like Washington D.C. or New York City depending on the inland track.
Adirondack Park
The rugged, forested high peaks of Upstate New York during the transition into Canadian airspace.
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.
Great Abaco
The easternmost edge of the Bahamas where the shallow reefs meet the deep Atlantic blue.
Outer Banks
The distinctive thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands visible across the ocean.
Long Island Sound
Views of the shoreline where the Atlantic meets the Connecticut and New York coasts.
Green Mountains
The rolling, verdant ridges of Vermont as the flight path moves north toward Quebec.
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.
