Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🛶

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.
