YUL → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a strategic advantage for spotting the Aurora Borealis during the transatlantic crossing and provides a panoramic view of the European continent and the Anatolian plateau before entering Jordanian airspace.
Montreal & St. Lawrence
Breathtaking views of the Olympic Stadium and the sprawling St. Lawrence River immediately after takeoff from YUL.
Southern Greenland
On more northerly tracks, witness the jagged fjords and massive ice sheets of Greenland's southern tip.
Central Europe
A bird's-eye view of major European hubs, often passing over or near London, Amsterdam, or Munich depending on the day's jet stream.
Taurus Mountains
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey provide a dramatic transition from Europe to the Middle East.
Sea of Galilee
As the flight descends into Jordan, catch a glimpse of this historic freshwater lake situated deep in the Jordan Rift Valley.
Northern Amman
The densely packed white stone buildings and ancient ruins of Northern Amman appear during the final approach into AMM.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. This side is essential for night flights if you hope to see the Northern Lights over the Atlantic. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, keep your window shade up to see the transition from the green hills of Northern Jordan to the desert landscape.
Maritime Provinces
Views of the rugged coastlines of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland as the plane leaves North American airspace.
The Alps
Spectacular views of the Swiss and Italian Alps, featuring some of Europe's highest peaks and glaciers.
Mediterranean Coast
The brilliant turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the Turkish Riviera or the island of Cyprus.
The Dead Sea
The highlight of the right side; the shimmering, salt-rimmed shores of the world's lowest point are visible on the descent.
Judean Desert
The stark, wave-like dunes and canyons of the desert landscape leading up to the Jordan River.
The right side is the winner for the final approach into Amman. If the flight path follows the Jordan Valley, you will have a front-row seat to the Dead Sea. However, be aware that on eastbound flights, the sun will be on the right side for the duration of the day, which can make the cabin quite warm and the glare intense.
