Val-d'Or Mining District
Immediately after takeoff, see the massive open-pit mining operations that define the Abitibi region.
Laurentian Mountains
The rugged, ancient peaks of the Laurentians, including the prominent Mont-Tremblant area.
Lake of Two Mountains
The scenic convergence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers west of the island.
Montreal Downtown Skyline
An unbeatable view of the city's skyscrapers as the plane turns for the Saint-Hubert approach.
Mount Royal Park
The historic hill in the center of the city, standing out against the surrounding urban grid.
Choose the right side for the best photography of the Montreal skyline. For the most colorful experience, book this flight in early October when the Laurentian forest turns vibrant shades of red and orange. Morning flights on this side offer the best lighting as the sun is behind the aircraft.

La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve
A massive expanse of pristine boreal forest and interconnected lakes typical of the Canadian Shield.
Baskatong Reservoir
A vast inland sea used for hydroelectricity and recreation, visible as a jagged blue patchwork.
Montreal Olympic Stadium
The iconic inclined tower of the 'Big O' is often visible on the left side during the descent over the island.
St. Lawrence River
Varying views of the massive waterway and the industrial ports of Montreal's eastern end.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid the direct afternoon sun. It is particularly good for spotting the Olympic Park and the eastern bridges during the final approach. In winter, look for ice patterns on the large reservoirs.
