YIF โ YHR
Which side of the plane to sit from St Augustin Airport (St-Augustin) to Chevery Airport (Chevery)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic intersection between the Canadian Shield and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, featuring rugged inlets and boreal landscapes.
St-Augustin River Delta
Complex network of sandbars and silt channels visible immediately after takeoff.
Boreal Wilderness
Densely forested terrain typical of the Bas-Cote-Nord, dotted with thousands of tiny glacial lakes.
Riviรจre ร la Baleine
The dramatic crossing of the Whale River as it empties into the labyrinthine coastline.
Canadian Shield Outcrops
Ancient, rounded granite hills sculpted by the last ice age.
Sit on the right for the best view of the coastline's intricate 'ragged edge.' Late afternoon flights provide high-contrast shadows on the rocky terrain, making the glacial scars more visible. Watch for the sudden transition from forest to the rocky plateau of Chevery during the descent.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Expansive views of the deep blue waters stretching toward the horizon.
Outer Archipelago
Bird's-eye view of the remote, rocky outer islands that guard the coast.
Marine Mammal Spotting
During summer months, keep an eye out for white caps that might actually be whales breaching.
The left side is best during mid-day to avoid direct sun glare on the water. It offers a more meditative, maritime experience focusing on the vastness of the Gulf.
