Montreal Skyline
A clear view of Mount Royal, the downtown skyscrapers, and the Victoria Bridge during departure.
Eastern Townships
The rolling Appalachian foothills including prominent peaks like Mont Orford and Owl's Head.
Bay of Fundy
The rugged, high-cliff coastline home to the highest tides in the world during the final approach.
Saint John Harbour

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here to catch the sunset over the Bay of Fundy on evening flights. Check the tide charts before you fly; during low tide, the dramatic mudflats of the bay are clearly visible from your window.
