Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the rugged Atlantic coastline to the massive tidal waters of Lake Melville.
Search flights from YSO to YYR
Kaipokok Bay
Immediately after takeoff, witness the deep, jagged fjord-like waters that define the Postville shoreline.
Coastal Icebergs
During spring and early summer, look for massive white icebergs drifting southward through the Labrador Sea.
Lake Melville
A massive, 3,000-square-kilometer estuary that dominates the final third of the flight route.
Mealy Mountains
In the far distance to the south, the ancient, glaciated peaks of the Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve may be visible.
For the most vibrant colors, choose a morning flight when the rising sun illuminates the coastal waters and granite cliffs. During late spring, the left side is the only place to spot lingering sea ice and icebergs. Ensure your window is clean as the low northern sun can cause significant glare.

Boreal Taiga Shield
An endless expanse of spruce and fir forest interspersed with thousands of small, untouched glacial lakes.
Naskaupi River
One of Labrador's major wilderness rivers, appearing as a silver thread winding through the dense forest.
Grand Lake
A massive, deep freshwater lake located just northwest of Goose Bay, often still frozen into early June.
North West River
As you approach Goose Bay, look for this historic settlement situated at the narrow junction where Grand Lake meets Lake Melville.
The right side is best for seeing the sheer scale of the Canadian wilderness. If flying in late September, look for the brilliant gold and yellow patches as the tamarack trees turn color. This side is typically better during afternoon flights as the sun is behind the aircraft.
