Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

New Brunswick Interior

Vast stretches of dense boreal forest and winding river systems typical of the Canadian Maritimes.

🏔️

White Mountains

Views of Mount Washington and the rugged Presidential Range in New Hampshire.

🏔️

Adirondack Park

The high peaks and pristine wilderness lakes of upstate New York.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

A stunning view of the CN Tower and downtown skyscrapers across the blue expanse of Lake Ontario.

🚢

Burlington Bay

The industrial heart of Hamilton and the Skyway Bridge as the plane aligns for its final approach.

Sit on the right for the best mountain scenery through New England and New York. The highlight is the view of Toronto across the lake; morning flights offer the clearest air and best light for photography of the skyline and the Adirondack peaks.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Petitcodiac River

Visible immediately after takeoff, known as the 'Chocolate River' for its unique brown silt and tidal bore.

🚢

Bay of Fundy

Aerial views of the massive tidal flats and rugged coastline between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

🏔️

Green Mountains

The lush, rolling peaks of Vermont stretching south toward the Massachusetts border.

🌊

Niagara Falls

On a southerly approach to Hamilton, the massive falls and the mist plume are visible in the distance.

🚜

Niagara Escarpment

The dramatic ridge and vineyard-rich landscape of the Grimsby and Stoney Creek area.

Watch the Petitcodiac River immediately after takeoff for its distinct brown hue. For the best chance to see Niagara Falls, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction during the descent into Hamilton. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Bay of Fundy coastline.
