Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Boston to Montreal. While takeoff offers coastal scenery, the landing approach into Montreal provides more dramatic and varied geography—the St. Lawrence River, Laurentian Mountains, and the urban landscape of Montreal itself create a more compelling visual experience. Left-side seats capture these features best during descent.

During takeoff from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Atlantic coastline and Boston Harbor as the aircraft climbs northwestward. You'll see the harbor islands and the Massachusetts coast receding below before the flight turns inland toward Montreal. Notable sights include: Boston Harbor and its islands, Atlantic Ocean coastline, Massachusetts Bay, Cape Cod (distant, to the southeast).

When landing at Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Montreal, including the Laurentian Mountains to the north and the St. Lawrence River valley. You'll see the river itself and the Montreal urban area coming into view as you descend toward Dorval. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River, Laurentian Mountains (north of Montreal), Montreal urban area and downtown skyline, Île de Montréal.

The flight from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) to Montreal International Dorval (YUL) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses central New England, passing over or near the Green Mountains of Vermont (to the west) and the White Mountains of New Hampshire (to the northwest). The Connecticut River valley runs roughly parallel to the flight path in the early stages. As the aircraft climbs to cruise altitude and heads northwest, the landscape transitions from coastal New England through forested hills and valleys. The Lake Champlain region (between Vermont and New York) may be visible to the west at cruise altitude on clear days. The final descent approaches the St. Lawrence River valley from the south, with the Laurentian Mountains becoming increasingly prominent as you descend toward Montreal.
