Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular coastal perspective, featuring the turquoise Florida coastline, the unique barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and potential views of the Manhattan skyline.
Miami Gold Coast
Vibrant turquoise waters and the iconic strip of luxury high-rises along Miami Beach.
Space Coast
Aerial view of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center launch facilities in Central Florida.
Outer Banks
The thin, graceful ribbons of sand that make up North Carolina's famous barrier islands.
New York Metropolitan Area
A distant but clear view of the Manhattan skyline, Long Island, and the busy Atlantic shipping lanes.
St. Lawrence River
The massive waterway that serves as the gateway to the Great Lakes and defines Montreal's geography.
Book a window seat on the right for superior coastal geography. Morning flights are particularly scenic on this side as the sun rises over the Atlantic. Watch for the Jersey Shore and the distinctive shape of Long Island roughly two-thirds of the way through the flight.
Florida Everglades
Bird's-eye view of the vast subtropical wetlands and the unique 'River of Grass' shortly after takeoff.
Adirondack Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of Upstate New York, offering beautiful textures and seasonal colors.
Lake Champlain
The massive, scenic lake marking the border between New York and Vermont as you approach Canada.
Montreal Skyline
Excellent views of Mount Royal and the dense downtown skyscraper cluster during the landing descent.
The left side is the preferred choice for the landing phase, as it typically offers the most direct views of Montreal's city center. For evening flights, you will enjoy a vibrant sunset over the inland Appalachian foothills during the mid-portion of the journey.
