Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Dominican coastline upon departure, potential glimpses of the Turks and Caicos islands, and the best perspective of the Nova Scotian coastline during the descent into Halifax.

Amber Coast
Breathtaking views of Puerto Plata's golden beaches and the lush Cordillera Septentrional mountains immediately after takeoff.
Turks and Caicos
On clear paths, you can spot the brilliant turquoise coral reefs and white sand cays of the Caicos Bank.
The Outer Banks
As the flight tracks north, you may see the thin, fragile ribbons of sand that make up North Carolina's barrier islands.
Northeast Seaboard
Distant views of the Cape Cod 'hook' and the rugged Maine coastline as you approach the Canadian border.
Nova Scotia South Shore
Dramatic views of the jagged Atlantic coastline, including the many inlets and granite shores near Peggy's Cove.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the island chains during the first 45 minutes of the flight. For daytime flights, this side also avoids the direct glare of the sun during the afternoon, providing better conditions for photography of the Atlantic coastline.

The Gulf Stream
Watch for distinct changes in water color and cloud formations where the warm current meets the cooler North Atlantic waters.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
Frequent sightings of large container ships and tankers navigating the busy routes toward New York and Boston.
Nova Scotia Interior
Upon descent, enjoy views of the dense boreal forests and the thousands of small, sparkling lakes that define the province's landscape.
While mostly offering open ocean views, the right side is excellent for seeing the sunrise if on a very early morning departure. As you approach Halifax, watch for the sprawling forests of the Maritimes, which turn vibrant orange and red during the autumn months.
