YUL → PTP
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet (Pointe-a-pitre)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Caribbean archipelago's volcanic peaks and the lush landscapes of Guadeloupe's Basse-Terre during the final approach.
Adirondack Mountains
Dramatic views of the high peaks in upstate New York shortly after crossing the Canadian border.
NYC & Hudson Valley
Distant views of the Hudson River and the sprawling New York metropolitan area on clear days.
Montserrat Volcano
The active Soufrière Hills volcano on Montserrat is often clearly visible to the west during the descent.
St. Kitts and Nevis
The distinct volcanic silhouettes of these neighboring islands appearing as the plane enters Caribbean airspace.
Basse-Terre Rainforest
Stunning views of the lush, mountainous western half of Guadeloupe and the La Soufrière volcano peak.
The right side is the 'money' side for this route. It provides the best perspective of the Leeward Islands during the descent into PTP. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the volcanic peaks like Montserrat isn't obstructed. Also, the sun will be on the opposite side during afternoon southbound flights, reducing window glare.
Montreal Skyline
Bird's-eye view of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers immediately following departure from YUL.
St. Lawrence River
The massive waterway and its surrounding islands as the plane turns south toward the US border.
US East Coast
Distant views of the Atlantic coastline and barrier islands as the route follows the seaboard.
Open Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and sunrise gradients on early morning flights.
La Désirade
The long, flat plateau island of the Guadeloupe archipelago visible during the final descent pattern.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the approach, you might catch a glimpse of the outer islands like Marie-Galante, but most of the flight over the ocean can be visually repetitive.
