Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for its high-probability view of the Manhattan skyline immediately after departure and its superior perspective of the central Finger Lakes region.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🌆

Manhattan Skyline

A world-class view of the Empire State Building, Central Park, and One World Trade Center.

🏞️

The Hudson River

The wide, majestic river separating New Jersey and New York as you climb northward.

⛰️

Catskill Mountains

Rolling, forest-covered peaks that offer a beautiful green or snowy carpet depending on the season.

🍷

Finger Lakes Region

Direct views of the long, slender glacial lakes like Cayuga and Seneca.

🏗️

Mississauga Skyline

Views of the distinctive Absolute World 'Marilyn Monroe' towers during the descent.

For the best Manhattan view, select a seat on the right and hope for a northern departure. During winter months, the frozen Finger Lakes create a unique geometric pattern visible clearly from this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Jersey City Urban Core

Detailed views of the Gold Coast and the urban density of Northern New Jersey.

⛰️

Delaware Water Gap

The scenic breach where the Delaware River cuts through the Appalachian Ridge.

🌊

Niagara Falls

Visible in the distance to the west when the flight path approaches Toronto from the south.

💧

Lake Ontario Shoreline

The transition from the lush New York landscape to the vast blue expanse of the Great Lake.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

A prime view of the CN Tower and the financial district during southern approach patterns.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Appalachian Mountains. It is also the best side for seeing the CN Tower if the flight approaches YYZ from the south or west.
