Which side of the plane to sit from Samaná El Catey International Airport (Samana) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the beautiful Samana coastline upon departure, the turquoise reefs of the Bahamas, and the stunning urban landscape of the US East Coast and Toronto.
Samana Peninsula
Lush tropical forests and white sand beaches of the Dominican Republic immediately after takeoff.
Turks and Caicos
Breathtaking turquoise coral reefs and shallow sandbars visible as you head north.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina stretching along the Atlantic coast.
Manhattan Skyline
A distant but distinct view of the New York City skyscrapers if the flight path hugs the coast.
Niagara Falls
Often visible during the descent into Ontario, showcasing the massive Horseshoe Falls.
Toronto Waterfront
Spectacular views of the CN Tower and the downtown core when approaching YYZ from the south.
Book a window seat on the left for daytime flights to maximize the vibrant colors of the Caribbean. On the approach to Toronto, if the plane enters from over Lake Ontario, you will have a front-row seat to the city's iconic skyline. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for Niagara Falls.
Atlantic Ocean
Deep blue views of the open ocean and various shipping vessels in the Gulf Stream.
Eastern Bahamas
Views of the more secluded eastern cays and deep-water trenches of the archipelago.
Sunrise Horizon
Unobstructed views of the sun rising over the Atlantic on early morning departures.
Greater Toronto Area
Expansive views of the sprawling northern suburbs of Mississauga and Brampton during final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights if you enjoy watching the sunrise over the ocean. While it offers fewer landmarks than the left side, it provides a very peaceful view of the Atlantic. During winter months, this side avoids the direct glare of the afternoon sun when flying North-West.
