Bay of Fundy
View the dramatic coastline and high-tide marks of the world-famous bay shortly after departure.
Appalachian Range
The northern reaches of the Appalachian Mountains visible as you cross into Maine and southern Quebec.
Thousand Islands
A stunning aerial view of the archipelago where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River.
Toronto Skyline
Excellent views of the CN Tower and downtown core when arriving via the standard Lake Ontario approach.
St. Lawrence Seaway
Follow the international shipping route that connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes. During arrival, the left side usually offers a clear look at the CN Tower if the plane approaches from the east over the lake.

Petitcodiac River
Look for the 'Chocolate River' and its unique muddy banks immediately after taking off from Moncton.
Fredericton
Catch a glimpse of the New Brunswick capital and the winding Saint John River.
Laurentian Highlands
In the distance to the north, the ancient rolling hills of the Canadian Shield are visible.
Ottawa Valley
The flight path often passes south of Ottawa, offering views of the fertile valley and the Gatineau Hills.
The Golden Horseshoe
Observe the dense urban development along the northern shores of Lake Ontario as you descend.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Ontario wilderness. It offers better views of the 'Chocolate River' during the initial climb out of YQM. If landing on the northern runways (05 or 33), you may get a better view of the Greater Toronto Area's residential sprawl.
