Which side of the plane to sit from Goose Bay Airport (Goose Bay) to Nain Airport (Nain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the rugged Labrador coastline, featuring deep fjords, remote island chains, and the iconic icebergs of Iceberg Alley during the spring months.
Search flights from YYR to YDP
Iceberg Alley
Massive white icebergs drifting south from Greenland, most visible from May through July.
The Archipelago
A complex labyrinth of thousands of ancient, wind-swept rocky islands along the shore.
Hamilton Inlet
The expansive waterway where the brackish Lake Melville finally meets the open Atlantic Ocean.
Coastal Settlements
Aerial glimpses of isolated outports like Postville and Makkovik tucked into protected bays.
Marine Life
Frequent sightings of whale spouts or seals in the deep blue coastal waters during summer months.
The right side is the premier choice for coastal scenery. For the best iceberg spotting, fly between late May and early July. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare from the water and ice. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the island chains.

Boreal Wilderness
Vast, untouched stretches of spruce and fir forest characteristic of the Canadian Shield.
Kiglapait Mountains
Dramatic peaks rising near the end of the journey, providing a stark contrast to the lowlands.
Glacial Lakes
A shimmering mosaic of thousands of freshwater bodies dotting the rugged interior plateau.
Tundra Plateaus
High-altitude barren landscapes that become more prominent as the flight heads further north.
Choose the left side for the most dramatic views of the Kiglapait Mountains during the descent into Nain. This side is best during afternoon flights when the sun casts long shadows over the mountain ridges and glacial valleys.
