Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for westward flights to North America, offering softer indirect lighting for photography and spectacular views of the Greenland ice cap and the remote Labrador wilderness.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐ŸŒ‹

Icelandic Highlands

Views of the volcanic landscapes and vast glaciers like Vatnajรถkull if the flight path tracks north.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Greenland Ice Cap

An endless expanse of white peaks and massive outlet glaciers flowing toward the sea.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Labrador Wilderness

Untouched subarctic tundra and thousands of small lakes across the Canadian Shield.

๐ŸŒฒ

Boreal Forest

The transition into the dense dark green forests of Northern Ontario as you approach the Great Lakes.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Ontario

Expansive views of the shoreline and the Niagara Peninsula during the final descent phase.

This side offers the best lighting for photography as the sun is positioned on the opposite side of the aircraft. About 4 to 5 hours into the flight, watch for the jagged mountains of East Greenland. If traveling in winter, this side offers a better chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis if the flight departs late or arrives in darkness.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐ŸŒ‰

ร˜resund Bridge

Dramatic views of the link between Denmark and Sweden shortly after takeoff from Copenhagen.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด

Southern Norwegian Coast

The rugged shoreline and rocky islands of Norway's southern tip are often visible early in the flight.

๐ŸงŠ

South Greenland Fjords

Deep blue waters filled with white icebergs carved from the massive southern ice sheets.

๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf of St. Lawrence

The vast entry point to the Canadian interior, where the ocean meets the river system.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Toronto Skyline

On specific southern approaches to YYZ, views of the downtown core and CN Tower can be seen.

The left side will face the sun for the majority of this westward daytime flight. Keep your window shade partially closed to manage heat and glare, but open it over Greenland to see the intense turquoise meltwater lakes. Use a lens hood to minimize reflections when photographing the icebergs.
