YUL โ YFC
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Fredericton Airport (Fredericton)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Monteregian Hills immediately after takeoff and a more diverse perspective of the Appalachian landscape and Maine's dense forests during the cruise phase.
Montreal Skyline
Stunning views of the downtown skyscrapers and Mount Royal immediately after takeoff depending on runway direction.
Monteregian Hills
A series of isolated peaks like Mont Saint-Hilaire that rise abruptly from the flat St. Lawrence Lowlands.
Eastern Townships
The scenic landscape of southern Quebec, characterized by rolling hills, orchards, and blue lakes like Magog.
Appalachian Range
The ancient, weathered peaks of the northern Appalachian mountains stretching across the border region.
Maine North Woods
A vast expanse of uninhabited forest and pristine lakes visible as the flight path skims the US-Canada border.
Choose a window seat on the right for the best sunset views on late afternoon or evening flights. Look out early for the Monteregian Hills, which appear as unique geological bumps on a flat plain. This side is particularly spectacular during the autumn months for seeing the vibrant fall foliage across the Appalachian foothills.
Olympic Stadium
The iconic tilted tower and circular structure of Montreal's Olympic Park are often visible shortly after departure.
St. Lawrence North Shore
Expansive views of the northern banks of the St. Lawrence River and the transition to the Canadian Shield.
Trois-Riviรจres
A potential distant view of the confluence of the Saint-Maurice and St. Lawrence rivers midway through the flight.
Saint John River Valley
The winding river valley and dense New Brunswick forests as the plane approaches Fredericton.
Sit behind the wing to capture the St. Lawrence River's breadth without obstruction. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun is positioned to the south, providing clear, front-lit views of the Quebec landscape. Watch for the river widening as you move east.
