Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Reykjavik to Armstrong. The outbound leg from Reykjavik offers more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—Iceland's volcanic landscape, geothermal features, and Atlantic coastline are far more striking than the approach to Armstrong, which is primarily boreal forest and lakes. Left side captures the more memorable portion of this transatlantic route.

During takeoff from Reykjavik (RKV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers views of Iceland's western coastline and the Reykjanes Peninsula immediately after departure. You'll see the Atlantic Ocean, coastal cliffs, and geothermal areas around Keflavík before the aircraft turns northwest toward Canada. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula, Atlantic coastline, Faxaflói Bay, geothermal steam vents near Keflavík.

When landing at Armstrong (YYW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of Lake Superior's northern shoreline and the boreal forest landscape approaching Armstrong. As you descend into northwestern Ontario, the right side captures the transition from open water to dense coniferous forest and the terrain surrounding Armstrong Airport. Notable sights include: Lake Superior northern shore, boreal forest canopy, Canadian Shield rocky terrain, Armstrong area lakes and waterways.

The flight from Reykjavik (RKV) to Armstrong (YYW) takes Approximately 6.5 to 7 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic, passing over the Denmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland (Greenland's ice sheet visible on clear days), then over the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Hudson Bay region. The midpoint offers views of Baffin Island's terrain, Hudson Bay's vast expanse, and the transition from Arctic tundra to boreal forest as the aircraft approaches continental Canada.
