Which side of the plane to sit from Wabush Airport (Wabush) to Mont Joli Airport (Mont Joli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the best vantage point for the massive open-pit mines of Fermont and the world-famous Daniel-Johnson Dam (Manic-5).
Fermont Mines
Stunning views of the Mont-Wright iron ore operations, featuring massive terraced pits and industrial infrastructure.
Manic-5 Dam
The Daniel-Johnson Dam, a spectacular multiple-arch-and-buttress dam, is a primary landmark on this route.
Laurentian Highlands
Densely forested mountain ranges and pristine lakes of the Canadian Shield stretching toward the horizon.
Bas-Saint-Laurent Coast
Aerial perspective of the coastal villages and farmland near Rimouski and Mont-Joli during the final descent.
The mining pits appear almost immediately after takeoff from Wabush. Keep your eyes peeled mid-flight for the Manic-5 dam, which is usually the highlight of the journey. Seats behind the wing offer the best downward visibility for these features.
Manicouagan Reservoir
The massive circular impact crater known as the Eye of Quebec is often visible to the southeast.
Toulnustouc River
Winding river valleys and hydroelectric infrastructure characteristic of the North Shore's rugged landscape.
Saint Lawrence Gulf
Expansive views of the estuary opening up towards the Atlantic Ocean as you approach the South Shore.
Look for the Manicouagan Reservoir about 20-30 minutes into the flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun rises over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
