Which side of the plane to sit from Lourdes de Blanc Sablon Airport (Lourdes-De-Blanc-Sablon) to St Augustin Airport (St-Augustin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular perspective of the rugged Gulf of St. Lawrence coastline and the numerous islands that define the Lower North Shore region.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Enjoy panoramic views of one of the world's largest estuaries and its deep blue waters.
Mecatina Archipelago
View the cluster of small, rocky islands scattered along the coast, unique to this remote region.
Iceberg Sightings
During late spring and early summer, you can often spot white icebergs drifting through the gulf.
Marine Mammals
Keep a close watch on the water surface for the blow of whales frequently visiting these nutrient-rich waters.
Since this is a short, low-altitude flight, choose a window seat for unobstructed views of the sea-land interface. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the coastline from the east. Bring binoculars if possible.
Boreal Taiga
Witness the vast, untouched expanse of northern forest stretching toward the horizon.
Canadian Shield
Observe the ancient, weathered granite landscape that characterizes the Quebec interior.
Pristine Lakes
Fly over a maze of countless glacial lakes and small ponds dotting the wild landscape.
Wildlife Opportunities
The open terrain near the coast makes it possible to spot large land mammals like caribou or black bears.
The right side is ideal for those interested in the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes.' Use a fast shutter speed on your camera to capture the intricate details of the terrain through the propeller wash of the typical aircraft used on this route.
