Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Fort Lauderdale to Montreal. While takeoff offers excellent coastal views, the landing approach into Montreal provides more sustained and dramatic scenery—the St. Lawrence River, Mount Royal, and the Laurentian Mountains create a more visually distinctive finale than the relatively flat South Florida departure.

During takeoff from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International (FLL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Atlantic coastline, Port Everglades, and the Miami-Fort Lauderdale urban sprawl immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs northward, so right-side passengers see the developed coastal strip and barrier islands that define South Florida's geography. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean, Port Everglades shipping channel, Miami-Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area, Intracoastal Waterway.

When landing at Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal's downtown core, and the Laurentian Mountains to the north during the descent approach. The aircraft descends from the southwest, so left-side passengers see the river valley and urban landscape that define the Montreal approach. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River, Montreal downtown skyline, Laurentian Mountains, Mount Royal.

The flight from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International (FLL) to Montreal International Dorval (YUL) takes 3h 45m.

The flight path crosses the Appalachian Mountains (visible as a series of parallel ridges in Pennsylvania and New York), the Hudson River valley near New York City, and the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The Great Lakes remain too far west to be visible on this direct route. The landscape transitions from coastal lowlands to rolling Appalachian terrain to the St. Lawrence River valley.
