Our Recommendation
8.7

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏰

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

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.
