Which side of the plane to sit from New Islamabad International Airport (Islamabad) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side (facing North/East) is superior for this polar route, offering breathtaking views of the high Karakoram peaks at departure and the massive Greenland ice sheet, all while avoiding the harsh glare of the southern sun.

K2 and Broad Peak
Distant but majestic views of the world's second-highest peak and the Karakoram giants to the northeast.
Greenland Ice Sheet
The highlight of the trip, featuring massive glaciers, deep crevasses, and the vast white interior plateau.
Baffin Island Fjords
Stunning Arctic coastline with deep-cut fjords and sheer granite cliffs rising from the sea.
Ellesmere Island
Remote, rugged Arctic terrain with spectacular glacial tongues reaching toward the frozen ocean.
Toronto Skyline
Depending on the arrival runway, excellent views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario on final approach.
The right side is the 'cool' side for this journey. Because you are flying at high northern latitudes, the sun stays to the south, leaving the right side with soft, even lighting—perfect for photographing Greenland and the Arctic islands. Watch for the Aurora Borealis if your flight segment over the Atlantic or Northern Canada occurs during local night hours.

Nanga Parbat
Dramatic views of the world's 9th highest mountain shortly after takeoff from Islamabad.
Tian Shan Mountains
The 'Heavenly Mountains' with snow-capped peaks stretching across the border of China and Kyrgyzstan.
Hudson Bay
A vast, mesmerizing expanse of water and ice as you enter Canadian airspace from the north.
Canadian Shield
A beautiful mosaic of millions of tiny lakes and dense boreal forests throughout Northern Ontario.
Algonquin Park
Expansive wilderness views during the descent toward the Greater Toronto Area.
Sit on the left for the most direct views of the high peaks immediately after departure. However, be prepared for significant sun glare for much of the flight as the sun will be to the south. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos of the Canadian Shield lakes to cut through the reflection.
