Chaleur Bay
Panoramic views of the bay immediately after departure from Charlo, marking the border between New Brunswick and Quebec.
Gaspé Peninsula
Across the water to the north, the rugged southern coastline of Quebec's Gaspé region is often visible.
Prince Edward Island
A distant but distinct view of the island's patchwork fields and red sandstone cliffs as the plane flies south.
Confederation Bridge
On exceptionally clear days, the 12.9km engineering marvel connecting the mainland to PEI can be spotted to the east.
Northumberland Strait
The shallow, warm waters of the strait offer beautiful turquoise gradients near the sandy shores of eastern New Brunswick.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Keep a keen eye out mid-flight for the distinct red soil of PEI, which contrasts sharply with the blue water. As you approach Halifax, this side often provides views of the rugged Atlantic coastline and the entrance to the Halifax Harbour.

Acadian Forest
Endless stretches of dense, vibrant forest typical of the New Brunswick interior and the Miramichi highlands.
Miramichi River
Aerial views of one of the world's most famous Atlantic salmon rivers winding through the wilderness.
Moncton & Petitcodiac
A view of New Brunswick's largest urban area and the 'Chocolate River' known for its dramatic tidal bore.
Bay of Fundy
Distant views of the Minas Basin, home to the highest tides in the world, visible on the western horizon.
Cobequid Mountains
The rolling, ancient mountain range of mainland Nova Scotia as you transition from the Isthmus of Chignecto.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the golden hour over the New Brunswick wilderness. Watch for the 'chocolate' brown waters of the Petitcodiac River near Moncton; the color is most striking when the tide is low, exposing the mudflats.
