YUL → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional vantage point for the Atlantic coastline and the major urban centers of the Eastern Seaboard, including the iconic Manhattan skyline.
Saint Lawrence River
Aerial views of the wide river and the bridges connecting Montreal to the South Shore upon departure.
New York City Skyline
On a clear day, the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty are visible from the coastal flight path.
Outer Banks
The fragile, beautiful barrier islands of North Carolina stretching into the Atlantic Ocean.
Florida Coastline
The transition from deep blue to turquoise water along the beaches of West Palm and Fort Lauderdale.
Miami South Beach
The iconic Art Deco district and white sand beaches are usually visible during the final descent into MIA.
Book a window on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look out about 45-60 minutes after takeoff for the NYC metropolitan area. During the final approach into Miami, the left side typically offers the most classic views of the Atlantic surf and coastal high-rises.
Adirondack Mountains
The rolling green peaks and dense forests of Upstate New York shortly after takeoff.
Appalachian Ridge
Long, parallel mountain ridges that define the interior of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Lake Okeechobee
Florida's 'Inland Sea' is a massive, unmistakable circular feature visible as you enter South Florida.
The Everglades
The vast, shimmering wetlands of Southern Florida's 'River of Grass' during the landing phase.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian range. It provides a more terrestrial view of the US interior and is the best side for viewing the immense scale of Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades as you approach Miami from the north or west.
