Signal Hill
The iconic Cabot Tower and the narrow 'Narrows' of St. John's harbor immediately after departure.
Bell Island
The distinct flat-topped island in Conception Bay with its red sandstone cliffs.
Terra Nova
The dense boreal forests and intricate fingers of land in Canada's easternmost national park.
Gander Lake
A massive, deep glacial lake that appears as a dark blue ribbon in the middle of the island.
Grand Lake
Newfoundland's largest lake featuring the massive Glover Island in its center during the descent.
The right side is best for morning flights to see the sunlight reflecting off the numerous interior lakes. In late spring (May-June), keep your eyes peeled for icebergs in Conception Bay and Trinity Bay. For the best photos of St. John's landmarks, be ready within the first three minutes of takeoff from Runway 11 or 16.

The rugged, untamed barrens of the Avalon Peninsula interior shortly after takeoff.
Placentia Bay
A massive bay known for its shipping lanes and diverse marine life visible from high altitudes.
South Coast Fjords
Glacial valleys and steep cliffs where the interior plateaus drop sharply into the Atlantic.
Saint George's Bay
The wide coastal approach into Stephenville featuring the sandy beaches of the Port au Port Peninsula.
Sit on the left for a direct view of the south coast's remote fjord-like inlets if the flight path tracks slightly south. Afternoon flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the southern sun while still capturing the golden light on the interior plateaus. Watch for the stark transition from forest to the rocky Barrens.
