Havana Malecón
A stunning view of Cuba's capital city and its famous seawall if departing to the east.
Miami & South Beach
High-altitude views of the dense Miami skyline and the vibrant turquoise waters of the Atlantic coast.
Cape Canaveral
Look for the Kennedy Space Center launch pads and the massive Vehicle Assembly Building near the Florida coast.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina standing out against the deep blue ocean.
Finger Lakes
The distinct, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York visible during the northern leg of the journey.
Toronto Skyline
An unparalleled view of the CN Tower and downtown core when approaching Pearson over Lake Ontario.
The right side is the 'scenic route' for this flight. For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun rising over the Atlantic. Timing is key: Cape Canaveral typically appears 45-60 minutes after takeoff. During the descent into Toronto, ensure your window shade is up early to catch the reflection of the sun on the lake.

Marina Hemingway
Aerial views of Havana's western coastal districts and the unique finger-pier docks upon departure.
The Everglades
The vast, swampy expanse of Southern Florida's river of grass stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Appalachian Mountains
The folded ridges of the Appalachian chain visible through Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Niagara Escarpment
The prominent geological ridge that runs through Ontario, visible during the final descent into YYZ.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the Caribbean tropics to the deciduous forests of the Northeast. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Havana coastline.
