YUL โ CCC
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Jardines Del Rey Airport (Cunagua)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior mix of urban skylines during the initial descent through the US East Coast and breathtaking views of the Florida peninsula and the turquoise shallows of the Cuban archipelago upon approach.
Montreal Departure
Excellent views of the St. Lawrence River and the dense urban grid of Montreal shortly after takeoff from YUL.
Northeast Corridor
Frequent sightings of the New York City skyline and the Jersey Shore, depending on the specific air traffic corridor assigned.
Florida Peninsula
A long-distance view of the Florida coast, often passing near Cape Canaveral's launch pads and the Miami metro area.
Cayo Coco Reefs
Stunning views of the vibrant turquoise waters and coral formations surrounding Jardines del Rey during the final descent.
The Pedraplรฉn
Look for the impressive 27km sea bridge connecting mainland Cuba to Cayo Coco as the plane maneuvers for landing.
This is the 'landward' side for much of the journey. Sit here for afternoon flights to avoid the direct morning glare and to see the Florida coastline. During the final approach into CCC, this side usually provides the best view of the shallow lagoons and the keys.
Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the vast Atlantic Ocean as the flight path mirrors the coastline of the Eastern United States.
The Outer Banks
Spot the thin, sandy ribbons of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the deep blue sea.
Bahamian Cays
Aerial perspectives of the northernmost islands of the Bahamas, featuring vibrant coral reefs and white sandbanks.
Old Bahama Channel
Watch for the distinct color change in the water where the deep channel meets the shallow shelf of the Jardines del Rey.
Choose this side for early morning flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic. It is generally the 'quieter' side visually until reaching the Caribbean, making it ideal for those who prefer the deep blues of the open ocean.
