The Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc.
Greenland Ice Sheet
On more northerly routes, witness the massive glaciers and turquoise meltwater lakes of southern Greenland.
Labrador Coast
View the dramatic fjords and icebergs floating along the rugged, untouched coast of northern Canada.
Laurentian Mountains
Fly over the ancient, lake-dotted landscape of the Canadian Shield in northern Quebec.
Toronto Skyline
On the standard approach to YYZ, the right side often gets a panoramic view of the CN Tower and downtown core.
The Right Side is the 'scenic winner' for the first two hours of the flight. Be prepared for high-contrast lighting; use the window shade to manage glare over the North Atlantic. For the best views of Greenland, check the flight map early to see if the captain is taking a Great Circle route. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain and the Toronto skyline upon arrival.

Tyrrhenian Coast
Aerial views of the Italian coastline and the Tuscan Archipelago shortly after departing Rome.
French Riviera
Scanning the glamorous coastline of Nice, Cannes, and the southern French coast.
Azores High
Vast views of the North Atlantic Ocean, often showcasing complex cloud patterns over the deep blue.
Maritime Provinces
Clear views of Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy as the flight makes landfall in North America.
Montreal & Ottawa
Detailed views of the St. Lawrence River and the Canadian capital city during the descent.
The left side is preferable if you want to avoid direct sunlight during a daytime westbound flight, as the sun will be mostly to the south. It provides excellent views of the Canadian Maritimes and the approach into the Greater Toronto Area over Lake Ontario.
