YULZSA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Montreal skyline during departure, a view of the U.S. East Coast transition, and the iconic turquoise Bahamian banks during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Montreal Skyline

Spectacular views of Mount Royal, the Olympic Stadium, and downtown Montreal immediately after departure from YUL.

🌲

Adirondack Park

The expansive wilderness and high peaks of Northern New York state during the first hour of flight.

🗽

Mid-Atlantic Coast

A distant view of the U.S. coastline, including the Jersey Shore and potentially the NYC metro area depending on the flight path.

🏖️

Outer Banks

The unique, narrow barrier islands of North Carolina visible as the plane tracks south along the coast.

💎

Bahamian Banks

The stunning shift from deep blue ocean to brilliant turquoise as you pass over the shallow banks near Cat Island and Eleuthera.

The right side is highly recommended for the initial climb out of Montreal to see the city. During the final 30 minutes, watch for the incredible color gradient of the Caribbean water. Polarized sunglasses are helpful to cut through the water's surface glare for better reef visibility.

🌊

St. Lawrence Seaway

Aerial view of the massive river system flowing towards the Gulf of St. Lawrence shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Green Mountains

The rolling, forested peaks of Vermont visible as the flight crosses the U.S. border.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Unobstructed views of the vast Atlantic Ocean, particularly striking during early morning or late afternoon flights.

🐠

San Salvador Reefs

The deep sapphire waters of the Atlantic breaking against the eastern fringing reefs of the island.

Choose this side if you are flying early in the morning to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a peaceful view of the open ocean and is best for seeing the rugged eastern coast of San Salvador upon arrival.
