Search flights from YQT to YTS
The Sleeping Giant
Visible shortly after takeoff from YQT, this massive sill of igneous rock resembles a giant lying on its back.
Lake Superior Coast
The dramatic, rocky shoreline of the world's largest freshwater lake, featuring clear blue water and hidden coves.
Pukaskwa National Park
One of Canada's most remote parks, showcasing ancient granite cliffs and the untamed 'Coastal Trail'.
Michipicoten Island
A large, isolated island in the middle of Lake Superior, often shrouded in mist and home to diverse wildlife.
Request a window seat on the right for the best coastal views. Morning flights are particularly beautiful as the rising sun reflects off the surface of Lake Superior. Be sure to look out immediately after takeoff to catch the Sleeping Giant before the plane turns east towards Timmins.

Nipigon River
A view of the legendary river connecting Lake Nipigon to Superior, known for its deep canyons and historical significance.
Boreal Canopy
An endless expanse of dense spruce and pine forest that characterizes the rugged northern Ontario landscape.
Glacial Lake Patterns
Intricate networks of thousands of small, tea-colored lakes carved into the Canadian Shield by retreating glaciers.
Northern Horizons
On night flights, the lack of light pollution provides a perfect window for spotting the Aurora Borealis.
The left side is best for those interested in the vastness of the Canadian Shield. Look for the transition from the lake-heavy terrain near Thunder Bay to the denser forest as you approach Timmins. In autumn, the pockets of birch and poplar turn a brilliant gold against the dark evergreens.
