Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged cliffs of the Burin Peninsula, the islands of Placentia Bay, and a stunning perspective of the Miquelon islands upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

St. John's Narrows

Immediate views of Signal Hill and the iconic narrow entrance to the St. John's harbor upon takeoff.

🏝️

Placentia Bay Islands

A view of the numerous uninhabited islands that dot this historic fishing and shipping bay.

🏔️

Burin Peninsula

The dramatic, rocky terrain and deep-cut fjords of Newfoundland's southern 'boot' shape.

🐎

Langlade Isthmus

The striking sandbar connecting Miquelon and Langlade, often home to wild horses and seals.

This side is superior for landmarks. Upon departure from YYT, watch for the colorful 'Jellybean Row' houses. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct separation between the French territory and the Canadian mainland.

7.8
🌊

Atlantic Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue North Atlantic and the edge of the Continental Shelf.

📉

Cape Race

Distant views of the southeastern tip of Newfoundland, famous for being the first to receive the Titanic's distress signal.

🚢

Placentia Bay Traffic

Observe cargo ships and tankers navigating the waters toward the Come By Chance refinery.

🇫🇷

St. Pierre Townsite

A birds-eye view of the dense, colorful French colonial architecture as you bank for landing.

Choose this side for the best lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the southern coast of the Avalon Peninsula. Look for the white surf breaking against the jagged southern cliffs.
