Dramatic vistas of the deepest part of the Great Lakes and the rugged Ontario wilderness.
Manitoba Lakes
Clear views of the massive Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba, which dominate the central landscape.
Edmonton Skyline
On many approaches to YEG, the right side provides a panoramic view of the downtown core and the river valley.
Keep your camera ready during the first 20 minutes for the Ottawa skyline. As you approach Edmonton, look for the deep, winding curves of the North Saskatchewan River valley. For evening flights, the right side offers a beautiful view of the 'blue hour' over the lakes.

Lake of the Woods
A massive, island-dotted lake straddling the Ontario, Manitoba, and Minnesota borders.
Pukaskwa National Park
The remote and wild southern shoreline of Lake Superior featuring the iconic Canadian Shield.
Saskatchewan Grid
The mesmerizing, perfectly geometric agricultural patterns of the southern prairies.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid direct glare during westbound afternoon flights. This side is also better for catching views of the distant U.S. border and the southern edge of the Boreal forest.
