YUL → BDL
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Bradley International Airport (Windsor Locks)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Lake Champlain and the dramatic High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains for most of the flight duration.
Lake Champlain
The plane flies parallel to this 120-mile-long lake, offering expansive views of its many islands and bays.
Adirondack High Peaks
The rugged, ancient peaks of New York State, including Mount Marcy, visible across the lake.
The Berkshires
The scenic forested hills of Western Massachusetts as the flight enters its final approach phase.
This side is exceptional for late afternoon or sunset flights as the light reflects off Lake Champlain. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the best lake vistas.
Montreal Skyline
A glimpse of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from YUL.
Green Mountains
The lush, rolling spine of Vermont featuring Mount Mansfield and Camel's Hump to the east.
Springfield Skyline
Clear views of the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Springfield urban area during the final descent.
Book an early morning flight to see the Green Mountains illuminated by the sunrise. If the wind requires a southern departure, you will get an excellent view of the St. Lawrence River and the Eastern Townships.
