LIM → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner for its early-flight views of the majestic Andes Mountains and a strategic vantage point for Niagara Falls during the final descent into Toronto.
Andean Peaks
Incredible close-up views of the Cordillera Blanca and snow-capped volcanic peaks throughout Peru and Ecuador.
Colombian Highlands
Lush, high-altitude valleys and the sprawl of Medellín or Bogotá depending on the exact airway.
Caribbean Archipelago
Stunning turquoise waters and coral reefs as you pass over the edges of Cuba or the Bahamas.
Niagara Falls
One of the world's most famous natural wonders is often visible on the right side just minutes before landing at YYZ.
Toronto Skyline
A breathtaking view of the CN Tower and the dense downtown core if the aircraft approaches from the south.
The first 90 minutes are crucial for mountain photography; ensure your window is clean. As the pilot announces the descent into Toronto (roughly 25 minutes before landing), stay alert for Niagara Falls. Note that the sun will be on this side during morning flights, which may require closing the shades.
Pacific Coastline
Dramatic views of the arid Peruvian coast meeting the deep blue Pacific Ocean shortly after takeoff.
Panama Canal
A potential bird's-eye view of the world's most famous shipping shortcut if the flight path crosses the Isthmus.
Gulf of Mexico
Vast stretches of azure water and potential views of the Yucatán Peninsula's white sand beaches.
Mississippi Delta
The intricate, bird-foot pattern of the Mississippi River as it empties into the Gulf.
Detroit Skyline
During the final hour of flight, you may spot the urban centers of the American Midwest across the Great Lakes.
Sit on this side for spectacular sunset views if you are taking a late afternoon or evening flight. It is also the preferred side to avoid direct sunlight for most of the northbound journey, keeping the cabin cooler and glare-free.
