Montreal Skyline
Excellent views of Mount Royal and the downtown skyscrapers immediately following departure from YUL.
The Laurentians
Aerial perspective of one of the world's oldest mountain ranges, featuring rolling summits and thousands of small lakes.
Lac Saint-Jean
A massive, circular freshwater lake visible to the northwest as the flight crosses into the Saguenay region.
Manicouagan Reservoir
The 'Eye of Quebec,' a stunning 100km wide ring-shaped lake formed by a meteorite impact 214 million years ago.
Labrador Trough Mines
Vast, red-tinted open-pit iron ore mines visible as the plane descends into the Wabush and Labrador City area.
Sit on the left to capture the most significant landmarks. The Manicouagan crater usually appears about 45-55 minutes after takeoff. For morning flights, this side also avoids direct sun glare, making it easier to take clear photos of the boreal wilderness.

St. Lawrence River
Vast views of the widening river and its shipping lanes during the initial climb phase.
Saguenay Fjord Region
Distal views of the rugged glacial valleys and deep river systems carving through the Canadian Shield.
Monts Groulx
A high-altitude, wild plateau near the Manicouagan crater that features unique subarctic tundra vegetation.
Pristine Glacial Lakes
Countless unnamed, crystal-clear lakes scattered across the remote northern Quebec landscape.
The right side is ideal for seeing the St. Lawrence River during departure. If flying in the late afternoon, this side provides better indirect lighting for the landscape as the sun sets in the west. Keep an eye out for the rugged peaks of the Uapishka (Monts Groulx) range.
