ANU β YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of views, including the volcanic peaks of neighboring Caribbean islands and the iconic skylines of the US East Coast.
Montserrat
Shortly after takeoff, view the dramatic ash fields and peak of the Soufrière Hills volcano to the west.
Leeward Islands
The lush, mountainous profiles of St. Kitts, Nevis, and St. Eustatius appear as jewels in the turquoise sea.
Outer Banks
Look for the thin, fragile ribbons of sand making up the North Carolina barrier islands.
NYC Skyline
On clear days or nights, the unmistakable silhouette of Manhattan and the Verrazzano Bridge is visible.
Finger Lakes
The distinctive north-south glacial lakes of New York state provide a unique pattern before the border.
Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and photo quality. On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the dazzling lights of the US Northeast Megalopolis. Keep your window shade up immediately after takeoff for the best island views.
Barbuda
Antigua's low-lying sister island is visible to the northeast, famous for its coral reefs and pink beaches.
Gulf Stream
Watch for the distinct deep blue color and cloud formations marking the powerful Atlantic current.
Niagara Falls
The crown jewel of the descent; the massive Horseshoe and American Falls are typically visible on the right.
Niagara Wine Country
The neatly gridded vineyards and orchards of the Niagara Peninsula appear just before crossing Lake Ontario.
The right side is essential if you want to see Niagara Falls. About 20 to 30 minutes before landing at YYZ, the flight path usually passes just west of the falls. Be aware that Barbuda is seen very early in the flight, so look out almost immediately after reaching initial cruise altitude.
