Swissair Flight 111 Memorial
Swissair Flight 111 (SR111/SWR111) was a scheduled international passenger flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States, to Cointrin Airport in Geneva, Switzerland. The flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.[1] On 2 September 1998, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 performing this flight, registration HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax Stanfield International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometers (5 mi; 4 nmi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the small fishing and tourist communities of Peggy's Cove and Bayswater, killing all 229 passengers and crew on board the MD-11, making the crash the deadliest accident in the history of Swissair and the deadliest accident involving the McDonnell Douglas MD-11. It is also the second-deadliest aviation accident to occur in Canada, behind Arrow Air Flight 1285R.

It was best to arrange with Viator (provided by Amman tours) than take a cruise bus to Peggy's Cove. Mr.Bractic was a wonderful guide!!

The tour guide Ali, was fabulous but he was not given the correct information. We booked Peggy’s Cove, the Swiss air flight memorial, and the Titanic cemetery. When my friends took the trip, the Tour guide was under the impression it was just Peggy‘s Cove and back to the ship. They had to ask about the Swiss air flight and the driver said he could do it, but it was in the opposite direction so they said just take us to the Titanic cemetery. When there the driver was not allowed to go in the cemetery, so dropped off at the gateOn our past tours in Halifax have been much more well organized. But again the guide was a very accommodating young man.

Serene car ride with good historical information from our driver on the way!! The scenery was beautiful and there is more than plenty of time at Peggy’s Cove and having a lobster roll also!! We arrived in plenty of time to enjoy Garrisons Brewery in the port before boarding! Highly recommend and the price is right!!

Our driver, Piyush, was terrific. The pickup location was super easy to find and the drop off was directly in front of our cruise terminal. We loved the drive to Peggy's Cove. The car was the perfect size for all of us to travel comfortably. The heated seats were a wonderful bonus with the chilly weather the day of our tour. Piyush was very knowledgeable and friendly. We visited Peggy's Cove, drove around the Citidel and passed by other key location in downtown Halifax. Our day was perfect. We even had time after the tour to walk the Halifax Seaport. Highly recommend!!!

The driver went the extra mile and took us to some places we hadn’t planned on. He was right on time. His Indian accent was quite heavy and a little hard to understand. Although he was more of just a driver than a tour guide, I was surprised that he couldn’t tell us where the name Peggy’s Cove came from.

Great experience. Pickup was easy and very flexible with our schedule. The driver was very nice and knowledgeable about the city and history. I love that it was kid friendly and the driver accommodating with our car seat and stroller.
