LAS → YUL
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an immediate reward with views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, followed by the striking red rocks of the Southwest and a superior approach over the St. Lawrence River into Montreal.
Hoover Dam
An iconic aerial view of the massive concrete dam and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.
Bryce Canyon
The distinct orange-hued hoodoos and geological layers of the Colorado Plateau.
Lake Ontario
Scenic views of the Great Lakes coastline with potential glimpses of the Toronto skyline.
Montreal Skyline
A beautiful descent over the St. Lawrence River featuring Mont-Royal and the downtown skyscrapers.
The right side is vital for the Hoover Dam view within the first 10-15 minutes of departure from LAS. As you approach Montreal, this side is typically favored for seeing the St. Lawrence River and the city's unique geography. If the flight path dips south, keep an eye out for Niagara Falls as you cross between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Great Basin Desert
Vast, rugged desert basins stretching across Nevada and Utah shortly after takeoff.
Great Salt Lake
The shimmering, reflective waters and surrounding salt flats of northern Utah.
Wyoming Rockies
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks including the Teton Range depending on the specific flight corridor.
Laurentian Forest
The endless expanse of the Canadian Shield's boreal forest as you enter Quebec.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side offers excellent views of the Great Salt Lake and the northern sections of the Rocky Mountains. In the winter months, the frozen landscapes of the Great Lakes and the snow-laden forests of Ontario provide a stunning white panorama.
