Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred for its stunning coastal vistas of the Northumberland Strait and the panoramic final approach over the Baie des Chaleurs, featuring views of the Gaspé Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Northumberland Strait

The scenic body of water separating the mainland from Prince Edward Island, featuring shallow turquoise patches.

🌉

Confederation Bridge

On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouette of the bridge connecting to PEI can be spotted to the northeast.

🚢

Bathurst Harbour

A beautiful view of the coastal city of Bathurst and its industrial port as you head north.

🌊

Baie des Chaleurs

Member of the 'Most Beautiful Bays in the World' club, offering brilliant blue water and coastal cliffs.

⛰️

Gaspé Peninsula

The dramatic, mountainous coastline of Quebec is visible across the bay during the descent into Charlo.

Sit on the right for the best morning light. This side offers the most variety, transitioning from strait views to coastal towns. The highlight is the final approach over Chaleur Bay; watch for the 'Sleeping Giant' mountain formation on the Quebec side of the water.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Acadian Forest

Vast stretches of dense, evergreen wilderness covering the interior of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

🌊

Minas Basin

The eastern extremity of the Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tides in the world.

🎣

Miramichi River

A world-famous salmon fishing river that winds dramatically through the New Brunswick landscape.

⛰️

Appalachian Foothills

The rolling, ancient mountain ranges of northern New Brunswick providing a rugged textured landscape.

Choose this side during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is ideal for passengers who enjoy deep forest landscapes and the intricate patterns of inland river systems. Keep an eye out for the unique reddish-brown tidal flats near the start of the journey.
