MUC → YUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Greenland ice cap, the rugged fjords of Labrador, and the dramatic Laurentian Mountains during the descent into Montreal.
Rhine Delta & North Sea
Clear views of the Dutch coastline, winding canals, and the massive container ports of the Low Countries.
Scottish Highlands
The dramatic peaks, deep lochs, and rugged western isles of Scotland during the transition to the Atlantic.
Greenland Ice Sheet
The undisputed highlight; massive glaciers, turquoise meltwater lakes, and towering icebergs drifting in the fjords.
Labrador Tundra
The remote and desolate beauty of northern Canada, characterized by thousands of small lakes and barren rock.
Saguenay Fjord
The deep, dramatic cliffs of the Saguenay River as it meets the St. Lawrence, signaling the start of the descent.
Sit on the right for the best indirect lighting and the most dramatic geographic features. Greenland usually appears 4.5 to 5.5 hours into the flight; set a timer to check the window. During the winter months, this side also provides a slight chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis if the flight departs MUC late in the day. As you approach Montreal, you will have a superior view of the Laurentian Mountains and the North Shore.
Bavarian Heartland
Aerial views of the rolling hills and historic towns of southern Germany shortly after takeoff.
London & Southern UK
On more southerly tracks, catch a glimpse of the sprawling Greater London area and the Thames Estuary.
Atlantic Horizon
Vast ocean vistas with unique cloud formations and the deep blue of the North Atlantic.
Newfoundland Coastline
The rocky shores of the island of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
St. Lawrence South Shore
The geometric patterns of Quebec's fertile agricultural lands along the river's south bank.
The left side faces south, meaning you will experience direct sunlight for much of this westbound flight, which can cause significant glare and cabin heat. Keep the window shade partially closed to maintain visibility. This side is best for seeing the urban sprawl of the South Shore during the final approach to YUL runway 24R or 24L.
