Scottish Highlands
The rugged, green-and-brown peaks of northern Scotland as the flight begins its ocean crossing.
Icelandic Tundra
If the jet stream pushes the route north, you may spot the volcanic landscapes and glaciers of Iceland.
East Greenland Fjords
Some of the world's most dramatic mountain-meets-sea scenery with massive icebergs calving into the water.
Labrador Coast
The wild, untouched coastline of northeastern Canada featuring deep inlets and snowy peaks.
Canadian Shield
A mosaic of millions of small lakes and dense boreal forest stretching across northern Quebec and Ontario.
Georgian Bay
The turquoise waters and 30,000 islands of Lake Huron's eastern bay visible shortly before descent.
The right side (Starboard) is generally best for this route as it faces north, providing soft, consistent lighting ideal for photography. You avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The most spectacular views occur roughly 4 to 5 hours into the flight over the coast of Greenland. Ensure you check the flight map frequently as the 'Great Circle' path can vary significantly based on daily wind patterns.

Vienna Woods
Aerial views of the Wienerwald forest and the Danube river winding away from the Austrian capital.
Rhine Valley
Visibility of the industrial heartland of Germany and the historic castles dotting the Rhine riverbanks.
The English Channel
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern UK coastline.

St. Lawrence Seaway
The massive waterway system connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.
Downtown Toronto
On approach to YYZ, a spectacular view of the CN Tower and the dense skyline against Lake Ontario.
The left side (Port) will face south during this westbound flight, meaning you will deal with direct sunlight and glare for most of the journey. However, it provides the iconic view of the Toronto skyline if the aircraft approaches YYZ from the east (Runway 24R/L). Watch for the St. Lawrence River about 90 minutes before landing.
