Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Adirondack mountain range and a more dramatic approach into Moncton, often featuring the distinct muddy waters of the Petitcodiac River and the Bay of Fundy coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Adirondack Mountains

The rugged, high peaks of Upstate New York visible to the south during the mid-flight cruise.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Maine North Woods

The vast, largely uninhabited forest territory that marks the boundary between Quebec and the Maritimes.

🌊

Bay of Fundy

The world's highest tides are visible as you descend toward the Moncton basin.

🍫

The Chocolate River

The Petitcodiac River's unique brown silt-laden waters winding through Moncton on final approach.

🏘️

Saint John River Valley

Lush agricultural lands and winding river bends visible as the plane enters New Brunswick airspace.

The right side is the winner for the arrival phase. Request a window seat here to see the tidal bores and the dramatic color contrast of the Petitcodiac River. Late afternoon flights provide excellent 'golden hour' lighting on the Bay of Fundy.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ™οΈ

Toronto Skyline

Distant views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario's northern shore shortly after takeoff from Hamilton.

🌊

St. Lawrence River

A clear crossing of the massive waterway that connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.

⛰️

Eastern Townships

Rolling hills and scenic lake regions of southern Quebec near the US border.

🌲

Miramichi Wilderness

The deep green expanse of central New Brunswick's legendary fishing and timber lands.

Sit on the left if you prefer cityscapes and river crossings. This side avoids direct glare during afternoon flights heading east-northeast, making it easier to spot the St. Lawrence Seaway's shipping traffic.
