Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Keflavik to Montreal. While the takeoff offers dramatic volcanic scenery on the left, the landing approach on the right provides more sustained visual interest over a longer period as you descend into Montreal, with the St. Lawrence River and urban landscape providing continuous scenic value during the critical final descent phase.

During takeoff from Keflavik Nas (KEF), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats offer immediate views of Reykjanes Peninsula's dramatic coastline and lava fields as the aircraft climbs out westward over the Atlantic. You'll see the volcanic terrain that defines Iceland's southwestern landscape. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula lava fields, Fagradalsfjall volcanic area, Atlantic coastline with black sand beaches, Keflavik town below.

When landing at Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Montreal, particularly of the St. Lawrence River, which the aircraft follows inland. You'll see the river's distinctive curves and the urban sprawl of greater Montreal as you descend. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River with its characteristic meanders, Montreal urban area and downtown core, Laurentian Mountains to the north, Lake Saint-Louis.

The flight from Keflavik Nas (KEF) to Montreal International Dorval (YUL) takes Approximately 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic at high altitude (typically 33,000-35,000 feet). At cruise altitude, you'll pass over the Atlantic basin with occasional views of the Greenland ice sheet's eastern edge if flying a northern routing, though most of the mid-flight is open ocean. As you approach North America, you may see the Canadian Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) depending on exact routing, followed by the Canadian Shield terrain of Quebec before descending into the St. Lawrence River valley.
