Tokyo to Montreal flight path: NRT to YHU

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Montreal. Takeoff scenery from Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay is more visually dramatic and iconic than landing views. The westbound transpacific route also offers potential views of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska's coastal ranges during the long cruise segment if weather permits.

During takeoff from New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers views of Mount Fuji and the Kanto Plain's eastern edge during the northwesterly departure climb. Right side faces inland terrain with less dramatic relief. Notable sights include: Mount Fuji (3,776 m, visible ~100 km southwest on clear days), Kanto Plain urban sprawl, Tokyo Bay coastline, Izu Peninsula ridge.

When landing at St Hubert (YHU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of the Saint Lawrence River, Montreal's downtown core, and the Laurentian Mountains during the descent into Saint-Hubert. Left side faces the less scenic southern suburbs and farmland. Notable sights include: Saint Lawrence River (flowing east-west), Montreal downtown skyline and Mount Royal, Laurentian Mountains (northern horizon), Île Perrot and river islands.

The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to St Hubert (YHU) takes about 11 hours 15 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 6,438 miles (10,361 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Aleutian Islands (volcanic peaks and passes), Bering Sea coastline, Alaska Range (distant northern horizon during cruise), Canadian Rockies (visible during descent into eastern Canada), Great Lakes region (if southern routing used)
