Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Montreal skyline during departure, the scenic peaks of the Eastern Townships, and the dramatic coastline of the Bay of Fundy on approach to Halifax.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Montreal Skyline

Excellent views of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers if departing toward the east.

⛰️

Appalachian Foothills

The rolling mountains of the Eastern Townships, including Mount Orford and the surrounding lakes.

💧

Saint John River

The winding silver ribbon of the Saint John River as it cuts through the New Brunswick landscape.

⛵

Bay of Fundy

Breathtaking views of the world's highest tides and the rugged coastline as you cross into Nova Scotia.

🛶

Shubenacadie Grand Lake

Large scenic lake bodies just before the final descent into Halifax Stanfield.

Best for afternoon and evening flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the Bay of Fundy. Request a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the dramatic Nova Scotian coastline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

St. Lawrence River

Expansive views of the river valley and the agricultural patterns of the south shore during initial climb.

🌲

Miramichi Wilderness

Vast stretches of dense New Brunswick forest and winding river systems north of the flight path.

🏝️

Northumberland Strait

On clear days, the distant blue waters separating New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are visible.

🏗️

Bécancour Industrial Park

A glimpse of the large-scale industrial infrastructure along the riverbanks near Trois-Rivières.

Ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon. During winter, look for intricate ice patterns forming on the St. Lawrence River shortly after takeoff from YUL.
