Nova Scotia Coastline
Rugged views of the Atlantic provinces of Canada, including the rocky shores and dense forests of Nova Scotia.
Newfoundland

Aurora Borealis
On northern-latitude tracks during winter, there is a distinct possibility of spotting the Northern Lights over the North Atlantic.
Sit on the left for the first three hours of the flight to see the North American coast. Since this is an overnight flight, keep your window shade open during the initial climb. If you are flying in winter, keep an eye out for the aurora borealis during the middle of the flight when the sky is darkest.
