Turks and Caicos
Stunning views of the coral reefs and deep blue 'wall' where the continental shelf drops off near the islands.
Long Island Sound
A clear view of the expansive New York coastline, including the beaches of the Hamptons and the Connecticut shore.
Adirondack Park
The vast, rugged wilderness of Northern New York, dotted with thousands of glacial lakes.
St. Lawrence River
The massive maritime gateway to North America, often filled with large cargo ships and tankers.
Old Quebec & Falls
On final approach, look for the historic Chateâu Frontenac and the massive Montmorency Falls to the east of the city.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Quebec arrival.' To see the St. Lawrence River in its full glory, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the first half of the journey. During winter months, the right side offers incredible views of the massive ice floes moving down the river near Quebec City.

Great Bahama Bank
Aerial views of the shallow, electric-blue waters and intricate sand patterns of the western Bahamas.
The Outer Banks
The thin, arcing barrier islands of North Carolina, marking the transition from the Atlantic to the US mainland.
East Coast Corridor
Distant views of major metropolitan areas like Philadelphia and the western suburbs of New York City.
The Catskills
The rolling, forested peaks of southeastern New York, particularly beautiful during the autumn foliage season.
Eastern Townships
The picturesque rural landscape of Southern Quebec, characterized by farms, lakes, and small mountain ranges.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying the sunset over the Appalachian range. This side provides a better view of the inland US geography and the transition from tropical reefs to temperate forests. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'hook' shape of the Outer Banks roughly 2.5 hours into the flight.
