Which side of the plane to sit from St Augustin Airport (St-Augustin) to La Tabatière Airport (La Tabatière)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an intimate look at the rugged, roadless wilderness of the Lower North Shore, featuring the ancient Canadian Shield and the intricate coastline.
Search flights from YIF to ZLT
Canadian Shield Terrain
Witness some of the oldest rock formations on Earth, characterized by rugged ridges and low peaks.
Pristine Boreal Forest
A dense, emerald carpet of spruce and fir that dominates the uninhabited inland territory.
River Estuaries
Look for the mouth of the Saint-Augustin River and other small streams carving through the rock.
La Tabatière Approach
An excellent view of the isolated fishing village as the plane descends toward the coastal airstrip.
Hidden Inlets
Dozens of deep, narrow coves and bays that are only accessible by boat or air.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic detail. Because this flight operates at relatively low altitudes, you can see the texture of the lichen and rocks. Sit on this side for the best view of La Tabatière village during the final approach. Seasonal colors are spectacular in late September when the shrubs turn deep red.

Gulf of St. Lawrence
The vast, open waters of the Gulf provide a sense of the scale of the Atlantic gateway.
Saint-Augustin Archipelago
A stunning collection of small, rocky islands and islets scattered just offshore.
Marine Life Spotting
In summer months, keep a keen eye on the water for the breaching of minke or humpback whales.
Coastal Ice Floes
During winter and early spring, the gulf transforms into a mosaic of shifting sea ice.
The left side is best for those who appreciate the vastness of the ocean. Early morning flights offer beautiful light reflecting off the Gulf. In winter, the ice patterns are most visible from this side as the plane tracks parallel to the shore.
