Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Right Side Highlights

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Montreal Skyline

Stunning views of the downtown skyscrapers and Mount Royal immediately after takeoff depending on runway direction.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Monteregian Hills

A series of isolated peaks like Mont Saint-Hilaire that rise abruptly from the flat St. Lawrence Lowlands.

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

Eastern Townships

The scenic landscape of southern Quebec, characterized by rolling hills, orchards, and blue lakes like Magog.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Appalachian Range

The ancient, weathered peaks of the northern Appalachian mountains stretching across the border region.

๐ŸŒฒ

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.

๐ŸŸ๏ธ

Olympic Stadium

The iconic tilted tower and circular structure of Montreal's Olympic Park are often visible shortly after departure.

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.
