Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic perspective of the St. Lawrence River valley and potential views of the Montreal skyline and the winding Saint John River on descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🛶

Ottawa River & Gatineau Park

Aerial views of the river system and the lush hills of the Gatineau region immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Montreal Skyline

On a clear day, look north to spot Mount Royal and the dense urban core of Quebec's largest city.

🌊

St. Lawrence River Valley

Expansive views of the fertile agricultural lowlands and the massive waterway connecting the Great Lakes to the ocean.

⛰️

Appalachian Foothills

The rolling, ancient mountain ridges of the Eastern Townships as the flight enters New Brunswick airspace.

💧

Saint John River

A stunning view of the wide river valley that defines the Fredericton landscape during the final approach.

Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, giving the left side perfectly lit landscapes without glare. Keep an eye out for the Mactaquac Dam just before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🚢

St. Lawrence Seaway

Views of the industrial shipping lanes and the international border corridor near Cornwall.

🏔️

Green Mountains Distant

On very clear days, the distant peaks of Vermont's Green Mountains are visible far to the south.

🌲

North Maine Woods

A vast, unbroken carpet of deep green forest stretching across the U.S. border into New Brunswick.

🏘️

Fredericton Suburbs

Views of the rural communities and forest-embedded developments surrounding the provincial capital.

Excellent for late afternoon or evening flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the opposite side, preventing glare. This side is best for those who appreciate the scale of the North American eastern wilderness.
