Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Atlantic coastline, the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, and the expansive Chesapeake Bay before crossing into Canada over the Great Lakes.
The Gold Coast
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Florida shoreline, the Intracoastal Waterway, and upscale coastal estates.
Kennedy Space Center
Look for the iconic launch pads and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape Canaveral about 20-30 minutes after takeoff.
Chesapeake Bay
A massive view of the Mid-Atlantic's largest estuary, including the bridges and shipping lanes near Norfolk and Baltimore.
Eastern Seaboard
Distant but clear views of the high-density urban corridor including Philadelphia and the western edges of New York City.
Lake Erie
A grand crossing of the Great Lake, showing the transition from the U.S. border into the Ontario peninsula.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. For the best views of Cape Canaveral, ensure you have a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. Keep an eye out for the Buffalo/Niagara region as you cross into Canada.
Florida Everglades
Aerial view of the vast, marshy wetlands extending westward during the initial climb out of FLL.
Appalachian Ridges
Scenic views of the rolling green mountains and valleys of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Niagara Falls
On specific approach patterns into YYZ, the falls are often visible on the left side of the aircraft.
Toronto Cityscape
Excellent views of the CN Tower and downtown Toronto during final descent into Pearson when landing on runways 05 or 06.
Sit on the left if you want the best chance of seeing Niagara Falls and the Toronto skyline during the landing phase. If flying in autumn, this side offers great views of the changing foliage over the Appalachian mountains.
