Back in the summer, I flew from Canada to France in less than an hour... But how's that possible?

Well, just off the coast of Newfoundland is a tiny French overseas collectivity called Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

These islands are home to only 6,000 people, and they have their own airline called Air Saint-Pierre!

Needing to fly from St. John's to Halifax, I decided to make an overnight detour to France to fly with them, and it was a trip to remember.

With thanks to @MarkBrandonAviation for the use of his photos.
