Indianapolis Motor Speedway
The historic 'Brickyard' is often visible to the north shortly after departing IND.
Welland Canal
Spot the series of locks and massive cargo ships transiting between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Niagara Falls
The most famous landmark on this route; both the American and Horseshoe Falls are frequently visible on the descent.
Niagara Wine Country
Neat rows of vineyards stretching across the Niagara-on-the-Lake region and the Escarpment.
Toronto Skyline
Panoramic views of the CN Tower and downtown Toronto across the water of Lake Ontario.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this flight. For the best view of Niagara Falls, look out approximately 15-20 minutes before landing. In the winter, the frozen mist around the falls is particularly striking. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun will be behind the aircraft.

A clear view of the downtown core and the Lucas Oil Stadium immediately after takeoff.
Lake Erie North Shore
The transition from the lake to the Canadian coastline as you enter Ontario airspace.
Mississauga Business District
The dense collection of skyscrapers in Mississauga, including the 'Absolute World' towers, visible on final approach.
Sit on the left side to avoid direct sunlight during morning flights heading northeast. This side is also preferable if the winds dictate an approach from the east, which can occasionally provide a distant view of the CN Tower.
