Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the iconic view of Niagara Falls during the descent into Toronto, alongside spectacular views of the Bahamas' turquoise waters and the Florida Space Coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Magdalena River

Follow the winding path of Colombia's principal river as it snakes through the northern tropical lowlands.

🏝️

The Bahamas

Stunning contrasts between the deep blue Atlantic and the shallow, neon-turquoise reefs of the Bahamian archipelago.

🚀

Cape Canaveral

Spot the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the distinct 'V' shape of the Florida coastline.

🌄

Appalachian Ridges

The 'ridge and valley' geographic province of Pennsylvania and West Virginia creates a striking corrugated landscape.

🌊

Niagara Falls

The ultimate highlight; look for the mist rising from the Horseshoe Falls as the plane banks toward Lake Ontario.

Niagara Falls is visible roughly 15-20 minutes before landing; keep your camera ready as the plane descends. This side experiences significant sun exposure during the middle of a northbound daytime flight, so keep the window shade partially down to manage glare while over the Caribbean. Seasonal tip: in winter, the frozen Great Lakes offer a surreal, crystalline landscape from this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Andes Mountains

Dramatic views of the Cordillera Oriental ridges immediately after departure from Bogota's high-altitude plateau.

🇨🇺

Western Cuba

Aerial perspective of the Pinar del Río province, known for its unique 'mogotes' limestone hills and tobacco fields.

🏖️

Florida Gulf Coast

Clear views of the Tampa Bay area and the white sand barrier islands along the Gulf of Mexico.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

Depending on the wind and landing runway at YYZ, the left side often captures the CN Tower and the dense downtown core.

🛶

Lake Erie

Cross the expansive waters of the smallest of the Great Lakes by volume as you enter Canadian airspace.

For the best mountain views leaving Bogota, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. If the flight arrives from the west, the left side provides the most direct view of the Toronto financial district. Morning flights on this side avoid the harsh direct sun reflecting off the water during the Caribbean crossing.
