Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally preferred for this route because it offers potential views of the Florida coastline at departure and the spectacular Toronto skyline including the CN Tower during the descent into Pearson International.
The Space Coast
Look east shortly after takeoff to see the Atlantic coastline and the general vicinity of Cape Canaveral.
East Coast Megalopolis
Glimpse the sprawling urban corridors of the Mid-Atlantic, including distant views of the Chesapeake Bay area.
Lake Ontario
Cross the vast blue waters of Lake Ontario as the aircraft prepares for its final descent into Toronto.
Toronto Skyline
The right side typically offers a stunning view of the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the downtown core on approach to runways 05 or 06.
The right side is the 'money side' for Toronto arrivals. To avoid the sun in your eyes while flying north, book a morning flight. Ensure you are seated either well in front of or behind the wing to capture the CN Tower during the descent.
Central Florida Basin
Enjoy views of the intricate network of lakes and wetlands north of Orlando during the initial climb.
Appalachian Mountains
Fly over the scenic rolling ridges of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains through the Carolinas and Pennsylvania.
Lake Erie Coast
As you cross into Canada, see the western edges of Lake Erie and the industrial landscapes of the Great Lakes region.
Choose the left side if you enjoy mountain geography; the Appalachian range is most prominent about 60 to 90 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights on this side avoid direct sunlight glare.
