Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Montreal to Salt Lake City. While takeoff offers river and mountain views, the landing approach into Salt Lake City provides more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the Wasatch Range is a major mountain barrier with significant relief, and the Great Salt Lake's unique color and scale make it a standout landmark. Left side captures both during descent.

During takeoff from St Hubert (YHU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers views of the St. Lawrence River valley and the Laurentian Mountains as the aircraft climbs northwest out of St. Hubert. The left side faces inland toward less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River (flowing east-west below), Laurentian Mountains (north of Montreal), Montreal urban sprawl (receding south), Île Perrot (visible in river to the west).

When landing at Salt Lake City International (SLC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides excellent views of the Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake during descent into Salt Lake City. The mountains frame the approach from the east, and the lake's distinctive blue surface is visible on the western side of the valley. Notable sights include: Wasatch Range (eastern edge of Salt Lake Valley), Great Salt Lake (west of the city), Salt Lake City urban grid (center of valley), Oquirrh Mountains (west side of lake, distant).

The flight from St Hubert (YHU) to Salt Lake City International (SLC) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Great Lakes region (Lake Ontario visible on initial westbound leg), then transitions over the Appalachian foothills of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Crossing into the Great Plains, the terrain flattens significantly over Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa—minimal elevation change for roughly 2 hours of flight. As the aircraft approaches the Rocky Mountain region over Nebraska and Wyoming, the terrain begins to rise gradually. The Laramie Range and Medicine Bow Mountains become visible on the left (south) side during the final 90 minutes of flight. The flight descends into the Great Basin, with the Wasatch Range forming the eastern wall of the Salt Lake Valley on approach.
