Loire Valley
Potential glimpses of historic French châteaux and sprawling vineyards during the initial climb-out.
Greenland Icecap
Spectacular views of massive glaciers and floating icebergs, often visible even from 35,000 feet.
Newfoundland Coast
The ancient, rugged fjords and dramatic cliffs of Gros Morne National Park as you enter North American airspace.
Laurentian Mountains
Vast stretches of boreal forest and thousands of lakes characteristic of the Canadian Shield.
Quebec City
Look for the iconic Château Frontenac and the historic walled fortifications of the old city.
The right side is the 'geography enthusiast' choice. Approximately 4-5 hours into the flight, keep your window shade up to spot the southern tip of Greenland; the contrast between the white ice and dark ocean is stunning. In the final hour, watch for the Saguenay Fjord's deep carvings in the landscape. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best photographic angles of the glaciers.

Toulouse & Garonne
Aerial views of the 'Pink City' and the winding Garonne River immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
The dramatic transition where the French mainland meets the deep blue of the North Atlantic.
St. Lawrence Seaway
Watch the massive shipping lanes and cargo vessels entering the industrial heart of Quebec.
Montreal Skyline
Direct views of the Olympic Stadium, Downtown skyscrapers, and Mount Royal during the final descent.
The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy a prolonged sunset over the Atlantic horizon. During the winter months, this side provides more consistent ambient light. On arrival, it typically offers a better view of the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and downtown Montreal if the wind necessitates a westerly approach.
