Which side of the plane to sit from La Romaine Airport (La Romaine) to Chevery Airport (Chevery)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

Flying east along the Lower North Shore of Quebec, the right side provides an incredible view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the complex archipelago of rocky islands that define this remote coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of St. Lawrence

The vast, deep blue waters of the gulf extending toward the horizon.

🏝️

Archipel de Harrington

A stunning collection of rocky islands and islets scattered near the destination of Chevery.

🏠

Harrington Harbour

Clear views of this historic fishing village, famous for its wooden boardwalks instead of roads.

🐋

Seasonal Whale Watching

In summer and early fall, watch for the telltale spouts of minke or fin whales in the coastal waters.

This is a very short flight, usually under 20 minutes, so have your camera ready immediately after takeoff. For the best view of the famous Harrington Harbour boardwalks, keep your eyes peeled as the aircraft begins its descent into Chevery. Polarized sunglasses will help you see through the water's surface to spot submerged reefs and marine life.

Left Side Highlights

🌲

Untouched Boreal Forest

Dense, sprawling carpets of black spruce and balsam fir typical of the Canadian Shield.

💧

Glacial Lake Mosaic

A complex network of thousands of small, pristine lakes and kettle ponds carved by glaciers.

🪨

Precambrian Rock

Massive outcrops of ancient granite and gneiss emerging through the thin subarctic soil.

Look for the winding courses of small rivers flowing south toward the coast. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the inland terrain, as the rising sun highlights the contrast between the dark forests and shimmering water. In autumn, the tundra-like patches turn vibrant shades of orange and red.
