The world's largest lake that drains naturally in two directions: north toward the Arctic Ocean and east toward Hudson Bay. Look for a big island-studded lake in the northern Saskatchewan Shield.
2 of our routes pass it. Saskatchewan
The easy pick
Minneapolis to Seoul: sit on the right, 120 min after takeoff.
Which side, by route

| Minneapolis to Seoul | Right | 120 min after takeoff |
From the real paths of every nonstop on these routes in the last 10 days, at the usual time of day. Where the best seat for the whole flight is on the other side, you'd trade this sight for more elsewhere.
