Which side of the plane to sit from Owen Roberts International Airport (Georgetown) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily for the iconic view of Niagara Falls during the descent into Toronto and the initial departure views of Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.
Seven Mile Beach
Immediately after takeoff, witness the crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sands of Grand Cayman's most famous beach.
Zapata Peninsula
As you cross over Cuba, look down at the lush wetlands and biosphere reserves of the southern coast.
Appalachian Mountains
Enjoy views of the rolling green ridges and valleys as you traverse the Eastern United States.
Niagara Falls
The highlight of the trip; as the plane descends into the GTA, the falls are typically visible on the left side.
Hamilton & Golden Horseshoe
View the industrial heartland and the western tip of Lake Ontario during the final approach.
Choose the left side for the best chance to see Niagara Falls on the descent. For midday flights, the sun will be behind you or directly overhead, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Caribbean water.
North Sound & Stingray City
During departure, see the shallow sandbars and vibrant coral reefs of the North Sound lagoon.
Miami & Gold Coast
As you clear Cuba, the sprawling urban landscape of South Florida and its barrier islands are visible to the east.
Cape Canaveral
On clear days, the Kennedy Space Center and the distinct shoreline of the Space Coast can be spotted.
The Outer Banks
View the thin strip of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina as the flight path hugs the coastline.
Toronto Skyline
Depending on the runway assignment, the CN Tower and downtown core often appear on the right side over Lake Ontario.
The right side is excellent for coastal views of the US Atlantic seaboard. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side will be shaded, which is better for viewing the bright Florida coastline without glare.
