Search flights from YYR to YBX
Lake Melville
Massive salt-water estuary extending from Goose Bay toward the Atlantic, often filled with ice floes in spring.
Mealy Mountains
The rugged, ancient peaks of the Akami-Uapishkᵁ-KakKasuak National Park Reserve visible to the southeast.
Strait of Belle Isle
The narrow waterway separating Labrador from Newfoundland, featuring potential iceberg sightings during early summer.
L’Anse-au-Clair
Aerial perspective of the historic coastal settlements dotting the Labrador side of the border.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. During May and June, keep a sharp eye out for large icebergs drifting through the Strait of Belle Isle. This side also offers the best chance to see the Newfoundland coastline across the water on a clear day.

Boreal Wilderness
A vast, untouched expanse of black spruce forest and muskeg characteristic of the Labrador interior.
St. Paul River
The winding, complex river systems of the Quebec North Shore as they snake toward the Gulf.
Barren Coastal Plateau
The striking, rocky landscape of the Lower North Shore which turns vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn.
Blanc-Sablon Village
A close-up view of the easternmost community in Quebec as the aircraft turns for its final approach.
The right side is ideal for photographers interested in the geometric patterns of the subarctic wetlands and the intricate river networks of the Petit-Mécatina region. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful 'golden hour' lighting across the rugged Quebec plateau just before landing.
