CMW → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Ignacio Agramonte International Airport (Camaguey) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, particularly for the approach into Toronto where Niagara Falls is frequently visible during descent, alongside the diverse terrain of the Eastern US and the Cuban coastline.
Camagüey Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the Jardines del Rey keys and turquoise Cuban shallows shortly after takeoff.
South Florida Coast
Potential vistas of the Miami metropolitan area and the expansive Everglades wetlands.
Appalachian Ridges
The distinct, long linear ridges and valleys of the Appalachian Mountains through Pennsylvania.
Finger Lakes
The deep, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York appearing as long scratches on the landscape.
Niagara Falls
The massive Horseshoe and American Falls are often visible on the left side during the descent into YYZ.
Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A') for the iconic view of Niagara Falls during the 'LINNG' arrival sequence into Toronto. Morning flights are ideal on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the sun while crossing the Atlantic coast. During winter months, the contrast of snow on the Appalachian ridges and the Finger Lakes is particularly striking.
Great Bahama Bank
Vibrant turquoise waters and intricate coral formations of the northern Bahamas islands.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Mid-Atlantic Cities
Distant views of the Philadelphia and New York City skylines depending on the specific air corridor.
Lake Erie
The transition from the US to Canada over the heavy shipping lanes of the eastern Great Lakes.
Toronto Skyline
A grand view of the CN Tower and the downtown core as the plane banks toward the airport.
The right side (typically 'F' or 'K') is best for early morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for the Outer Banks; they are a unique geographic landmark. If the flight path takes a coastal route, this side provides better views of the Atlantic coastline and the potential for a spectacular view of the Toronto skyline if landing on runways 24L or 24R.
