Hudson Bay Confluence
Dramatic views of the Great Whale River meeting the saltwater of the Hudson Bay immediately after takeoff.
James Bay Shoreline
A long-duration view of the rugged, rocky coastline and the numerous islands that dot the eastern side of James Bay.
Arctic Sunsets
On evening flights, the right side offers a front-row seat to long, vibrant sunsets over the water.
Laval and Montreal
As you descend, catch clear views of the Mille Îles River and the urban sprawl of Laval.
Montreal Skyline
Depending on the runway in use, this side often provides a stunning view of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers.
The right side is the scenic winner for its variety. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the coastal transition. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the glare from the water can be intense, so bring sunglasses, but the reward is a golden-hour view of the Montreal archipelago.

Taiga Landscape
Witness the transition from the sparse subarctic taiga to the dense boreal forests of Northern Quebec.
Hydroelectric Reservoirs
Glimpses of the massive reservoir systems near the La Grande complex, showcasing human engineering in the wilderness.
Laurentian Mountains
Rolling ancient mountain peaks covered in mixed forest as the plane enters the southern part of the province.
Lac Saint-Jean Drainage
Countless small lakes and rivers that form the complex watershed draining toward the Saguenay.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the vast, untouched interior of the Canadian Shield. This side is particularly beautiful during early morning flights as the sun rises over the wilderness. Look for the distinct patterns of the 'string bogs' unique to this latitude.
