Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this transatlantic crossing, offering high-contrast views of Greenland's glaciated coast and a scenic entry into Toronto over Lake Ontario.
Isle of Man
Quickly after takeoff, catch views of this island nestled in the center of the Irish Sea.
Greenland Ice Sheet
On northerly tracks, witness the massive, jagged white expanse of the world's second-largest ice body.
Labrador Coastline
Admire the deep, carved inlets and rugged wilderness of northern Canada's remote terrain.
Lake Ontario
The final descent often follows the shoreline, providing a vast water perspective before landing.
Toronto Skyline
Secure a view of the CN Tower and downtown core when landing on runways 24L/R or 23.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For the best views of Greenland, monitor the flight path; northerly routes are significantly more scenic. This is primarily a daytime flight, so expect bright conditions and prepare for high-altitude glare over the ice caps.
Irish Coastline
View the rugged northern cliffs and emerald green landscapes of Ireland as you exit European airspace.
North Atlantic
An expansive view of the ocean where you might spot sea ice or large vessels during the crossing.
Newfoundland Forest
Look down upon the dense boreal forests and thousands of lakes in eastern Canada.
St. Lawrence River
Follow the path of this historic waterway as the aircraft heads toward the Great Lakes region.
Greater Toronto Area
Views of the sprawling suburban landscape and major highway corridors during the final approach phase.
The right side offers softer lighting during the afternoon westbound journey, avoiding the harshest direct glare of the southern sun. It provides a better perspective of the vast Canadian interior if the flight path stays further south.
