Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Montreal to Edmonton. Right side captures the most dramatic scenery on both legs: the Laurentian Mountains during departure and the transition from boreal forest to prairie during the westbound cruise. The left side offers river valley views on descent but less compelling mid-flight scenery.

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. The left side faces inland terrain with fewer distinctive features during initial climb. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River, Laurentian Mountains (Laurentides), Montreal urban sprawl, Île Perrot.

When landing at Edmonton International (YEG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of the North Saskatchewan River valley and Edmonton's river valley geography during descent. The right side faces open prairie with minimal visual interest during approach. Notable sights include: North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton city center and river valley, Whyte Avenue district, prairie landscape.

The flight from St Hubert (YHU) to Edmonton International (YEG) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Canadian Shield and boreal forest zone. Notable features include the Ottawa River valley (visible around 1.5 hours into flight), the transition from deciduous/mixed forest to coniferous boreal forest, and the gradual flattening of terrain as the aircraft moves west toward the prairie provinces. The Great Lakes remain south of the typical flight path. Around the midpoint (near Sault Ste. Marie area), the landscape shifts from rocky, forested Shield terrain to more open boreal forest. As the flight continues west toward Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the terrain becomes progressively flatter and more open, with visible agricultural patterns and scattered lakes characteristic of the prairie provinces.
