Which side of the plane to sit from L.F. Wade International International Airport (Bermuda) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the historic Bermuda coastline upon departure, potential distant views of the New York City skyline, and the most iconic views of the Toronto skyline during the approach to Pearson.
St. George's Harbor
Excellent views of the historic town of St. George and the eastern fortifications of Bermuda shortly after takeoff.
New York City Skyline
On clear days, the Manhattan skyline and the Freedom Tower are often visible in the distance to the west.
Hudson Valley
The scenic, winding Hudson River and the lush landscapes of the Catskill Mountains further inland.
Lake Ontario
Sweeping views of the vast Great Lake as the aircraft begins its descent into the Greater Toronto Area.
Toronto Waterfront
Unrivaled views of the CN Tower, the Rogers Centre, and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in downtown Toronto.
The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival into Toronto; most approaches to YYZ runways 05 or 06 provide a perfect panorama of the city core. This side also stays in the shade for afternoon flights, providing better conditions for photography. Keep an eye out for the NYC skyline about halfway through the journey.
Bermuda Western Reefs
Stunning views of the intricate coral reef systems and turquoise lagoons surrounding the western tip of the island.
The Gulf Stream
Observe the sharp transition from the turquoise coastal waters to the deep indigo of the Atlantic's primary current.
Jersey Shore
Clear views of the long barrier islands and coastal towns of New Jersey as the flight path crosses the US coastline.
Finger Lakes Region
Glacial lake formations in Upstate New York, appearing as long, narrow ribbons of blue amidst green farmland.
Lake Erie Shoreline
The northern coast of Lake Erie and the industrial landscapes of the Niagara Peninsula as you enter Ontario.
Sit on the left for the best views of Bermuda's western reefs during departure. For the mid-flight portion, this side is best for observing the shift from the Atlantic to the US Eastern Seaboard. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade partially closed to avoid glare.
