Which side of the plane to sit from St. Anthony Airport (St. Anthony) to St. John's International Airport (St. John's)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Atlantic coastline, the famous 'Iceberg Alley', and the remote islands scattered along Newfoundland's northeastern shore.
Search flights from YAY to YYT
Iceberg Alley
During spring and early summer, look for massive white and turquoise bergs drifting south from Greenland.
The Grey Islands
Spot the remote Bell Island and Groais Island off the coast of the Great Northern Peninsula.
Twillingate & Fogo Island
View the iconic coastal communities and the unique architecture of the Fogo Island Inn from high above.
Bonavista Bay
Pass over the deep blue waters and intricate archipelago of islands near Terra Nova.
Marine Life
In summer months, keep an eye on the water's surface for whale breaches and spray in the bays.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on early morning flights. Between May and July, bring polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and spot icebergs more easily in the Atlantic waters. This side is superior for coastal photography as the plane tracks the shoreline toward the Avalon Peninsula.

Long Range Mountains
Observe the ancient, flat-topped mountains that form the northernmost extension of the Appalachians.
The Great Northern Peninsula
Survey the vast, uninhabited boreal forests and marshes of the Newfoundland interior.
White Bay
Look down into the long, deep fjord-like inlet that separates the peninsula from the rest of the island.
The Land of a Thousand Ponds
See the countless glaciated lakes and 'rattles' that dot the interior wilderness.
St. John's Sprawl
As you descend, catch views of the suburban expansion and the rugged hills surrounding the capital.
The right side is ideal for seeing the sun setting over the island's interior on late afternoon flights. It provides a better perspective of the island's sheer scale and dense forestation. During the final approach into YYT, this side often offers a broader view of the city's residential outskirts.
