YUL → YYG
Which side of the plane to sit from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Montreal) to Charlottetown Airport (Charlottetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer excellent views of the St. Lawrence River and the Maritimes, the right side is preferred for the iconic view of the Confederation Bridge and the striking red soil of the PEI south shore upon arrival.
Search flights from YUL to YYG
Appalachian Foothills
The rolling green terrain of the Eastern Townships and the Maine/New Brunswick border region.
St. John River
The wide, winding St. John River as it cuts through the dense forests of central New Brunswick.
Confederation Bridge
The 12.9-kilometer engineering marvel connecting the mainland to the island, visible shortly before descent.
PEI Red Cliffs
The iconic contrast of vibrant red sandstone cliffs against the blue Atlantic waters during the final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10-15 minutes before landing to spot the Confederation Bridge. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, but the light hitting the red soil of the island upon landing is unmatched for photography.

Montreal Skyline
Aerial view of downtown Montreal, Mount Royal, and the Olympic Stadium shortly after takeoff.
St. Lawrence North Shore
Continuous views of the vast river and the industrial landscape of Sorel-Tracy and Trois-Rivières.
Laurentian Vista
Distant views of the ancient, forested Laurentian Mountains to the north during the initial cruise phase.
Northumberland Strait
The deep blue waters of the strait separating New Brunswick from Prince Edward Island.
Sit on the left for the best views of Montreal's city center during an eastbound departure. On arrival in Charlottetown, this side often looks out toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the famous Cavendish beach area if the plane loops north for the approach. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on this side.
