BCN → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Pyrenees mountains shortly after takeoff, the dramatic landfall at Newfoundland, and avoids the harsh direct sunlight common on the southern-facing left side during this westbound journey.

The Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountain range dividing the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
Irish Coastline
Glimpses of the rugged, emerald-green cliffs of Southwestern Ireland before beginning the Atlantic crossing.
Newfoundland Fjords
Dramatic rocky coastlines and potential icebergs visible during the spring months near the landfall point.
Canadian Shield
Endless stretches of boreal forests and pristine lakes as the flight crosses Northern Quebec and Ontario.
Choose this side to avoid direct sunlight on this westbound route. About 6 to 7 hours after departure, look out for the first sight of the North American continent. On late-season or overnight flights, this side offers the best possibility of spotting the Aurora Borealis over the North Atlantic.

Barcelona Coastline
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Barcelona port area immediately following takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
A view of the deep blue waters where the Spanish and French coastlines converge.
St. Lawrence River
Aerial views of the southern banks of the massive St. Lawrence waterway as you enter Canadian airspace.
Toronto Skyline
Excellent views of the CN Tower and the downtown financial district during the final approach into YYZ.
This side provides the best view of the Toronto skyline upon landing, but be prepared for significant sun glare throughout the afternoon as you fly west. Keep the window shade partially closed during the mid-flight ocean crossing to manage heat.
