YUL → YBC
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Baie Comeau Airport (Baie Comeau)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the rugged Laurentian Mountains, the iconic skyline of Quebec City, and the majestic mouth of the Saguenay Fjord.
Montreal Skyline
Aerial views of Mount Royal, the Olympic Stadium, and downtown Montreal shortly after takeoff from YUL.
Laurentian Mountains
Continuous views of the ancient, rolling peaks of the Canadian Shield stretching toward the horizon.
Quebec City & Montmorency Falls
A clear view of the historic Chateau Frontenac and the powerful Montmorency Falls as you pass the provincial capital.
Charlevoix Biosphere
The dramatic terrain of the Charlevoix crater, one of the world's largest impact craters, known for its steep cliffs.
Saguenay Fjord
The spectacular meeting point where the dark waters of the Saguenay River flow into the St. Lawrence at Tadoussac.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best mountain views. In autumn, this side offers a spectacular palette of red and gold foliage. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the North Shore cliffs.
St. Lawrence River
Watch the river transform from a narrow waterway into a massive marine estuary as it opens toward the Gulf.
Île d'Orléans
The fertile, agricultural island near Quebec City, known for its traditional Quebecois rural architecture.
Estuary Ice Sheets
During winter months, the right side offers views of massive shifting ice floes and navigation channels in the river.
Gaspé Horizon
On very clear days, the distant mountains of the Gaspésie Peninsula can be seen across the wide expanse of the water.
The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy the calming blue expanse of the St. Lawrence. If flying during a winter sunset, the sun reflecting off the icy river creates a stunning golden glow. Keep an eye out for the white foam of cargo ship wakes cutting through the water.
