The flight tracks a great circle route over the North Atlantic, passing south of Greenland and over the southern tip of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Visible features mid-flight are limited to open ocean, occasional sea ice near Greenland latitudes in winter, and the Canadian Maritime coastline as you approach North America. The flight crosses the jet stream, which often produces significant turbulence over the mid-Atlantic.
