Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior approach to North Africa, featuring the Strait of Gibraltar and the dramatic Atlas Mountains before descending into Algiers.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🛶

Nova Scotia Coast

The last glimpse of North America featuring the rocky shores and inlets of the Atlantic provinces.

🚢

Strait of Gibraltar

A landmark sight where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, separating Europe and Africa.

🏔️

Atlas Mountains

The northern edges of the Tell Atlas range provide a stunning backdrop as you reach Algeria.

🏙️

Algiers Bay

Panoramic views of the 'White City' and its Mediterranean harbor during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for capturing the iconic Strait of Gibraltar during the crossing. During the daytime arrival in Algiers, this side offers the most dramatic views of the coastline and the city's unique architecture. Use a window seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
🏙️

Montreal Skyline

Great views of Mount Royal and downtown Montreal shortly after departure from YUL.

🌊

St. Lawrence River

Follow the widening expanse of the St. Lawrence as the flight heads northeast toward the coast.

⛰️

Gaspe Peninsula

Rugged coastal cliffs and mountains of eastern Quebec visible before the Atlantic crossing.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

Aerial views of Ibiza and Mallorca are possible if the flight path tracks across the Mediterranean.

Choose the left side for better views of the Canadian coastline during departure. If it is an overnight flight, the left side will catch the first light of sunrise over the Atlantic. Watch for the St. Lawrence estuary in the first hour of flight.
