SNUYUL

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most spectacular contrast between the Caribbean's turquoise shallows at departure and the grand St. Lawrence River on arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Jardines del Rey

Breathtaking views of the Cayo Santa Maria archipelago with its white sands and neon-blue reefs.

🌊

Outer Banks

The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina visible as the flight transitions over the Atlantic.

🗾

Long Island Sound

The distinctive shape of Long Island and the busy maritime traffic entering the New York harbor area.

🚢

St. Lawrence River

The massive waterway that defines the Montreal landscape, often featuring large cargo ships.

🏟️

Olympic Stadium

The iconic inclined tower of the 1976 Olympic venue is frequently visible during the eastern approach.

Sit on the right for the best morning light and to avoid the glare of the setting sun. The departure from Cuba is the highlight; keep your camera ready for the first 15 minutes to capture the coral cays.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Santa Clara Interior

Aerial view of central Cuba's agricultural heartland and the urban sprawl of Villa Clara's capital.

🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Distant views of the Miami metro area and the Everglades transition as you cross the Straits of Florida.

⛰️

Adirondack Wilderness

The dense forests and rugged peaks of Upstate New York, offering beautiful fall foliage colors.

⛵

Lake Champlain

The narrow, long lake that forms the natural border between New York and Vermont.

🍁

Mount Royal Park

Montreal's namesake central hill and the downtown skyscrapers as you bank toward the airport.

This side is preferred for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachians. Watch for the city lights of the US East Coast corridor if traveling at night.
