Which side of the plane to sit from Providenciales Airport (Providenciales) to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Caribbean reef systems at takeoff, a clear line of sight to the U.S. East Coast landmass, and the scenic Adirondack Mountains during the descent into Quebec.
Caicos Bank & Reefs
Breathtaking turquoise waters and intricate coral formations immediately following takeoff from Providenciales.
Outer Banks
The thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching across the Atlantic coastline.
Manhattan Horizon
On clear days, the distant but distinct silhouette of the New York City skyline as you pass the Mid-Atlantic.
Adirondack Park
Dense forests and high peaks of upstate New York, including Lake Placid and Mount Marcy.
Lake Saint-Louis
A wide view of the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers just before landing at YUL.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of flight for the best reef shots. As you cross into Canada, look for the unique patterns of the Monteregian Hills rising from the flat St. Lawrence valley.
Grace Bay
Aerial view of the world-famous white sands of Grace Bay and North Caicos.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Vast ocean views where you can often spot large cargo ships heading toward major U.S. ports.
Green Mountains
The rolling, verdant ridges of Vermont running parallel to the flight path.
Montreal Skyline
Depending on the wind direction and runway, a spectacular view of Downtown Montreal and Mount Royal.
Richelieu River
The winding river valley that served as a historic corridor between New York and Montreal.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' glow on the landscape. If the plane lands from the south, you will have the iconic view of Mount Royal and the Olympic Stadium. Watch for the change from tropical blue to the deep green of the northern forests.
