Which side of the plane to sit from Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (Winnipeg) to Flin Flon Airport (Flin Flon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Manitoba's massive glacial lake systems, including the intricate coastlines of Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipegosis, followed by a dramatic transition into the rugged Canadian Shield.

Winnipeg Suburbs
Aerial view of the sprawling western residential areas and the winding Assiniboine River shortly after takeoff.
Lake Manitoba Narrows
A clear view of the unique narrowing of the lake where the land nearly bridges the water.
Lake Winnipegosis
Vast stretches of the western shoreline featuring remote bays and limestone outcrops.
Boreal Forest Edge
The visible line where the southern agricultural prairies end and the dense northern Boreal forest begins.
Clearwater Lake
Known for its incredible clarity, this lake appears as a deep turquoise gem amidst the surrounding dark green forest.
Sit on the left for the best views of the lake transitions. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent lighting for photos of the turquoise lakes near The Pas. Watch for the sudden change from flat farmland to rocky, lake-dotted terrain about 30 minutes into the flight.

Downtown Winnipeg
A great view of the Forks, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and the Red River during initial climb.
Lake Winnipeg
Distant views of the massive inland sea to the east, often showing whitecaps on windy days.
Cedar Lake & Grand Rapids
The massive hydroelectric infrastructure and the unique color of Cedar Lake's water.
Precambrian Shield
The appearance of the world's oldest rocks, characterized by exposed granite and thousands of tiny, unnamed 'pothole' lakes.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the rocky outcrops of the Shield. It also provides the best perspective of the hydroelectric dams near Grand Rapids. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'ribbon' effect of the Saskatchewan River delta as you move further north.
