Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Brussels to Montreal. While the takeoff offers some river scenery, the landing approach over the St. Lawrence River and Montreal's distinctive geography provides more visually rewarding and recognizable landmarks. The right side captures the most dramatic urban and natural features of the destination.

During takeoff from Brussels Natl (BRU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers views of the Meuse River valley and the industrial landscape of Wallonia as the aircraft climbs northwestward. The right side faces inland toward relatively flat, featureless agricultural terrain. Notable sights include: Meuse River, Scheldt River estuary (northern distance), Antwerp industrial zone, Belgian coastal plains.

When landing at Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal's urban core, and the surrounding Laurentian landscape during descent. The left side faces the less visually distinctive terrain of southern Quebec. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River, Montreal downtown skyline, Mount Royal, Laurentian Mountains (northern distance).

The flight from Brussels Natl (BRU) to Montreal International Dorval (YUL) takes 7h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for approximately 5.5 hours. Notable features include: the Irish coast and Celtic Sea (shortly after departure), the Newfoundland coastline and Grand Banks region (approaching North America), and the transition from maritime to continental landscape as the aircraft approaches Quebec. The mid-Atlantic crossing offers limited visual interest beyond open ocean, but clear days may reveal the Azores archipelago far to the south on the horizon.
