Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides the best views of the stunning Cuban keys upon departure, the Florida coastline, and the rolling terrain of the Appalachian Mountains during the mid-flight transit.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Jardines del Rey Archipelago

Immediate views of the turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding Cayo Coco right after takeoff.

🐊

Florida Everglades

Aerial perspective of the vast tropical wetlands as you cross the Florida peninsula.

⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

The distinctive ridges and valleys of the eastern US mountain range stretching through West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

🌊

Lake Erie Shoreline

Clear views of the northern Ohio and New York coastlines before crossing into Canadian airspace.

🏙️

Buffalo & Niagara Region

Distant views of the Niagara River and the urban sprawl of Buffalo just before the descent.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the first 20 minutes of the flight for capturing the vibrant blue hues of the Cuban coast. During the descent into Toronto, keep an eye out for the Welland Canal which is often visible on this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

The Atlantic Coastline

Expansive views of the Eastern Seaboard and the deep blue transition into the Gulf Stream.

🏖️

Outer Banks

The unique thin strip of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina visible on clear days.

🌃

East Coast Megalopolis

In the distance, the sprawling urban centers of Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia may be visible.

💧

Lake Ontario

The massive expanse of the easternmost Great Lake as the plane turns for its final approach.

🗼

Toronto Skyline

Often provides an iconic view of the CN Tower and downtown core depending on the active runway configuration at YYZ.

The right side is the 'golden hour' side for afternoon flights, offering beautiful sunset views over the wing. If the aircraft approaches Pearson from the east (Runway 24R or 24L), this side offers the most famous view of the CN Tower and Toronto's financial district. Ensure your window is clean for high-altitude coastal photography.
