FRA → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for westbound transatlantic flights from Europe to North America, offering spectacular views of the Greenland ice cap and the rugged Labrador wilderness without the constant glare of the southern sun.
Search flights from FRA to YYZ
Scottish Highlands
Rugged mountains and lochs of Northern Scotland as the plane heads out over the Atlantic.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Stunning vistas of massive glaciers, deep fjords, and the vast white expanse of the interior ice cap.
Labrador Fjords
The incredibly remote and dramatic rocky coastline of Northern Labrador, Canada.
Canadian Shield
An endless tapestry of ancient rock, boreal forests, and thousands of glaciated lakes in Northern Quebec.
Ottawa Valley
The transition from the wild northern forests to the settled agricultural lands of Eastern Ontario.
The right side provides the best lighting for photography because you are facing north, away from the sun. The most dramatic scenery occurs roughly 4 to 5 hours into the flight over Greenland. For night flights in winter, this side offers a much higher chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

Frankfurt Skyline
Aerial views of the Main river and the 'Mainhattan' financial district shortly after takeoff.
English Channel
Glimpses of the busy shipping lanes and the distant coastline of Northern France or the UK south coast.
Cape Farewell
The southern tip of Greenland, often surrounded by floating icebergs during the spring and summer months.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
The expansive waters and islands of Eastern Canada as the flight enters North American airspace.
Toronto Skyline
Panoramic views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario waterfront when approaching YYZ from the east.
Sit on the left if you want a view of the Toronto skyline during the final approach, particularly if the aircraft lands on runways 24L or 24R. Be aware that this side faces south, meaning you will deal with direct sunlight and glare for the majority of the daytime westbound journey.
