YUL β CMW
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Ignacio Agramonte International Airport (Camaguey)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for spotting major US East Coast landmarks, the iconic New York City skyline, the length of the Florida peninsula, and the vibrant turquoise waters of the Great Bahama Bank.
Adirondack Mountains
Dense forests and rugged peaks of upstate New York visible within the first 30 minutes of flight.
New York City Skyline
Often provides a distant but clear view of the Manhattan skyline and the surrounding metropolitan sprawl.
Cape Canaveral
As you pass Florida, look for the Kennedy Space Center and the distinct shoreline of the Space Coast.
The Tongue of the Ocean
A deep oceanic trench in the Bahamas that creates a stark, beautiful color contrast with the shallow banks.
Camaguey City
An aerial view of the historic cityβs unique, labyrinthine street layout designed to confuse pirates.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after departure for NYC views. As you cross the Bahamas, the right side typically has better views of the massive Andros Island and the incredible patterns of the underwater sand dunes near the Great Bahama Bank.
St. Lawrence River
Dramatic views of the wide waterway separating Quebec from the United States shortly after takeoff.
The Jersey Shore
A continuous stretch of beaches and coastal towns visible as the plane tracks along the Atlantic seaboard.
The Outer Banks
The unique, thin ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, visible on clear days.
Abaco Islands
The first major glimpse of the Bahamas, featuring coral reefs and scattered tropical cays.
Jardines del Rey
The stunning archipelago off the northern coast of Cuba as you begin your descent into Camaguey.
Sit on this side for early morning departures to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also excellent for seeing the sharp transition from the deep blue Atlantic to the shallow turquoise reefs of the eastern Bahamas. During winter, look for frozen lakes in the New England area early in the flight.
