Which side of the plane to sit from Sudbury Airport (Sudbury) to North Bay Jack Garland Airport (North Bay)?

Search flights from YSB to YYB
Lake Wanapitei
A massive, circular lake formed in a meteorite impact crater, clearly visible shortly after takeoff from Sudbury.
Canadian Shield
Endless stretches of ancient rock and dense Boreal forest characteristic of Northern Ontario.
Chiniguchi Waterway
A complex network of interconnected lakes and rivers popular for backcountry canoeing.
North Bay Approach
Views of the northern residential outskirts and the rugged terrain leading into the Jack Garland Airport.
Since this flight is extremely short (under 30 minutes), ensure your window shade is up immediately after takeoff. The highlight, Lake Wanapitei, appears very quickly on the left. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the crater's contours.
