LIR โ†’ YYZ

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Caribbean coastlines, the Appalachian mountain range, and a high probability of seeing Niagara Falls on the approach into Toronto.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Bay Islands

Look down at the vibrant coral reefs surrounding Roatรกn and Utila off the coast of Honduras.

๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf Coast Entry

Scenic crossing of the Gulf of Mexico coastline, often entering near the Florida Panhandle or Alabama shores.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Appalachian Ridges

The distinctive long, parallel forested ridges of the Appalachian Mountains stretching across the Eastern US.

๐ŸŒŠ

Niagara Falls

On standard arrival paths to YYZ from the south, the falls are often clearly visible just before crossing Lake Ontario.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Toronto Skyline

Unmatched views of the CN Tower and the dense downtown core as the plane banks for its final approach.

The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival. To see Niagara Falls, watch closely about 20 minutes before landing. Be aware that winter flights may have heavy cloud cover over the Great Lakes, so summer or autumn offer the clearest landscapes.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐ŸŒ‹

Lake Nicaragua & Ometepe

View the twin volcanoes of Ometepe rising directly out of the massive Lake Nicaragua shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Yucatรกn Peninsula

Catch glimpses of the eastern edge of Mexico and the turquoise waters surrounding Cozumel.

๐Ÿšœ

American Midwest

The intricate geometric patterns of American farmland and the Ohio River valley visible during the mid-flight phase.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Erie

Cross the vast freshwater expanse of Lake Erie as the flight transitions from US to Canadian airspace.

Choose a morning departure to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft, preventing glare while viewing the Nicaraguan volcanoes. This side is also excellent for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon.
