CUN → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Cancún International Airport (Cancun) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior perspective of the Caribbean islands immediately after takeoff and typically offers the most iconic views of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario during the descent into YYZ.
Isla Mujeres
A stunning view of the small island and coral reefs just north of the Cancun coastline.
Florida Emerald Coast
Vibrant white sand beaches and emerald waters of the Florida Panhandle and Destin area.
Appalachian Ridges
Distinguished hazy blue peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains visible in the distance.
Toronto Skyline
A world-class view of the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the downtown core during the final approach.
The right side is generally better for photography as it faces away from the direct sun for most of the northbound journey. Request a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Toronto waterfront.
Cancun Hotel Zone
Aerial views of the iconic '7' shaped sandbar and vibrant turquoise waters during initial climb.
Gulf Coast Landfall
Bird's-eye view of the Alabama and Mississippi coastline including Mobile Bay.
Tennessee Valley
Lush green landscapes and winding river systems throughout the American South.
Lake Erie Coast
Expansive views of the Great Lakes border region before entering Canadian airspace.
Ideal for travelers who prefer watching the sunset on late afternoon flights. Look out for the massive cargo ships on Lake Erie shortly before the descent begins.
