Which side of the plane to sit from Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Georgetown) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of views, including the Demerara River at departure, the vibrant turquoise reefs of the Bahamas, and the iconic Niagara Falls during the descent into the Greater Toronto Area.
Demerara River
Aerial view of the massive river system and the Georgetown coastline immediately after departure.
The Bahamas Cays
Stunning views of the shallow turquoise waters and sandbars of the Exuma and Berry Islands.
Carolina Coastline
A view of the extensive marshes, inlets, and sandy beaches of the American Southeast.
Mid-Atlantic Cities
Distant views of the urban corridors between Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.
Niagara Falls
If the flight path tracks west of the city, this side provides a breathtaking view of the falls on approach.
Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure unobstructed photos of the Bahamas. This side is particularly spectacular during midday flights when the sun is high, illuminating the coral reefs below. In the late afternoon, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the interior of North America.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as the flight exits South American airspace.
Lesser Antilles
Distant silhouettes of the Caribbean islands like Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands depending on the airway.
The Outer Banks
A unique perspective of the thin barrier islands of North Carolina stretching into the ocean.
New York City
On clear days, the Manhattan skyline and Long Island can be seen in the distance to the east.
Toronto Waterfront
The CN Tower and the dense downtown core are often visible as the plane banks over Lake Ontario.
The right side is ideal for early morning departures to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic. It also provides the best angle for the Toronto skyline if the aircraft approaches Pearson from the east. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
