The right side is essential for seeing Niagara Falls. To get the best view, book a morning flight when the sun is behind you, perfectly illuminating the mist of the falls. During the 'LINNG' arrival into YYZ, the plane often passes directly over the Niagara River, making the right side the prime spot for photography.
