Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic views during the approach to Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport, featuring a world-class panorama of the Toronto skyline and the CN Tower.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Massachusetts North Shore

Views of the rugged Atlantic coastline, including the historic towns of Salem and Marblehead during initial climb.

🏔️

Green Mountains

On clear days, the distant peaks of the Vermont mountain range are visible to the north.

🌲

Adirondack Wilderness

The expansive, dark green canopy of the Adirondack Park in Northern New York as the flight heads toward the Canadian border.

💧

Lake Ontario Crossing

A dramatic transition from the New York shoreline into the vast blue expanse of the lake.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

The 'money shot' featuring the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and financial district skyscrapers at eye-level during the final descent.

The right side is essential for the iconic Toronto approach. Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion for photos. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the city's glass towers from behind the aircraft.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Boston Back Bay

Aerial perspectives of the Prudential Center, Charles River, and Fenway Park immediately after departure from BOS.

⛰️

Berkshire Mountains

The rolling green hills and dense forests of Western Massachusetts as the flight reaches cruising altitude.

🍷

Finger Lakes Region

Glacial lakes in New York State, specifically the northern tips of Cayuga and Seneca lakes, visible during the mid-flight transit.

🏝️

Toronto Islands

A close-up view of the parklands, beaches, and the interconnected lagoons of the Toronto Islands just seconds before touchdown.

Sit on the left for better views of the Massachusetts interior and the Finger Lakes. During winter, look for the frozen patterns on the smaller lakes in New York. If the flight approaches from the west (less common), this side will see the city skyline.
