YUL → CZM
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Cozumel International Airport (Cozumel)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer diverse views, the Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Appalachian Mountains during the mid-flight and an unbeatable view of the Yucatan coastline and the turquoise waters of the Riviera Maya during the final descent into Cozumel.

Appalachian Mountains
Extended views of the rolling ridges and valleys through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia.
Washington D.C.
The Potomac River and the distinct geometry of the U.S. capital city are often visible.
Florida Everglades
The vast, shimmering wetlands of southern Florida as you transition toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Riviera Maya Coastline
Stunning views of Playa del Carmen and the white sand beaches of the Mexican mainland during descent.
Mesoamerican Barrier Reef
Incredible turquoise water and coral formations visible just before touchdown at CZM.
Sit on the Right Side for the most dramatic arrival experience; as the plane turns to align with the Cozumel runway, you will see the stark contrast between the deep blue Caribbean and the bright turquoise of the shallow reefs. In the afternoon, use your window shade to block the southern sun during the mid-portion of the flight over the US.

East Coast Urban Corridor
Distant views of the densely populated Atlantic megalopolis, including New York and Philadelphia.
Outer Banks
The distinct, thin barrier islands of North Carolina stretching into the Atlantic Ocean.
Cape Canaveral
If the flight path hugs the coast, the Kennedy Space Center and launch pads are visible on the Florida shoreline.
The Gulf Stream
Dramatic color transitions in the ocean water as the aircraft crosses the powerful warm current.
Cozumel Interior
Aerial views of the island's dense jungle and the limestone-carved coastline during the final approach.
The Left Side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel south. It is also the side to choose if you want a clear view of the Atlantic horizon and the specific shape of Cozumel island upon landing. Keep an eye out for the Bahamas in the distance if the route stays east of the Florida peninsula.
