YUL β YBG
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to CFB Bagotville (Bagotville)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the St. Lawrence River's expansive waterway and the dramatic entry into the Saguenay Fjord region.
Olympic Park
The iconic inclined tower and stadium roof visible during the initial climb out of Montreal.
St. Lawrence Seaway
Bird's-eye view of international cargo ships navigating the narrow channels of the river.
Saguenay Fjord
Breathtaking views of the steep granite cliffs and dark waters where the Saguenay meets the St. Lawrence.
Ha! Ha! Bay
The picturesque deep-water harbor and the town of La Baie during the final approach to YBG.
The right side is essential for viewing the Fjord on descent. For the best photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern cliffs of the Saguenay. In autumn, this side provides incredible views of the color change along the river banks.
Montreal Skyline
Clear views of Mount Royal and the downtown core immediately after takeoff from YUL.
Laurentian Highlands
The rolling, ancient peaks of the Canadian Shield covered in dense mixed forests.
Saint-Maurice River
The massive river system snaking through the Mauricie region toward the St. Lawrence.
Boreal Wilderness
Transition into the deep northern woods characterized by vast green canopies and glacial lakes.
Select the left side for sunset flights to catch the glow over the Laurentian mountains. This side is ideal for travelers interested in the rugged topography of the Quebec interior and the industrial landscape of the Trois-Rivières area.
