DEN → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the Great Lakes, the right side is superior for its approach path into Toronto, often providing iconic views of the CN Tower, the downtown skyline, and the Lake Ontario waterfront.

Omaha Skyline
Excellent views of the Missouri River and the Omaha urban center early in the flight.
Indiana Dunes
The southern tip of Lake Michigan featuring high sand dunes and heavy industrial ports.
Lake Erie Shoreline
Vast views of the lake and the agricultural patterns of the Niagara Peninsula.
Niagara Wine Country
The geometric grids of vineyards stretching between the Escarpment and Lake Ontario.
Toronto Waterfront
A stunning perspective of the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the downtown financial district on final approach.
This is the 'money' side for the arrival. If the wind is from the west (common), the plane will fly past the city and turn back, giving the right side a perfect panorama of Toronto. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through lake haze.

Nebraska Sandhills
Unique rolling grass-stabilized sand dunes in north-central Nebraska shortly after departure.
Mississippi River
A major geographic milestone crossing near the border of Iowa and Illinois.
Chicago North Shore
Distant but clear views of the Chicago metropolitan area and the deep blue of Lake Michigan.
Michigan Peninsula
Dense forest canopies and inland lakes across the lower peninsula of Michigan.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look for the distinct transition from the arid Great Plains to the lush Midwest. During winter, watch for ice formations on the edges of the Great Lakes.
