Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Caribbean departure, the intricate barrier islands of the US East Coast, and a high-probability view of Niagara Falls during the arrival into Toronto.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Barbados Platinum Coast

Catch the final glimpses of the luxury resorts and turquoise reefs of the western Barbados shoreline during ascent.

🌊

Leeward Islands

Spot the distant silhouettes of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as you traverse the northern Caribbean.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

View the iconic thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands and the distinct Cape Hatteras lighthouse area.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

The massive estuary system and the complex network of bridges near Norfolk and Annapolis are clearly visible.

🏢

Washington D.C. Area

On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of the US capital can be seen as the flight tracks northward.

🌊

Niagara Falls

The most famous landmark on this route; look for the mist and the Horseshoe Falls as the plane descends into the Golden Horseshoe.

Request a seat forward of the wing for the best photography of Niagara Falls. For morning flights, this side is also shielded from the direct glare of the sun, making it easier to spot landmarks along the US coast. Watch for the falls approximately 20-30 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌅

Atlantic Sunrise

On early morning departures, enjoy an unobstructed view of the sun rising over the open Atlantic Ocean.

🏙️

New York City Skyline

Depending on the ATC routing, the Manhattan skyline and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge may be visible in the distance.

🏖️

Jersey Shore

See the long, sandy stretches of the New Jersey coastline and the bright lights of Atlantic City.

⛴️

Long Island Sound

The distinct shape of Long Island and the busy shipping lanes of the Sound are prominent features.

💧

Lake Ontario

As the plane turns for its final approach to YYZ, enjoy vast views of the lake and the Toronto island airport.

The right side is ideal if you enjoy open ocean horizons and the possibility of seeing the NYC metro area. However, afternoon flights will face direct sunlight, which can make the cabin hot and the views hazy. Look for the 'CN Tower' and Toronto skyline during the final turn.
