Chicago Skyline
Unmatched views of the Willis Tower and the Loop during the initial climb out of Midway.
Lake Michigan Shoreline
Aerial perspective of the Indiana Dunes and the beautiful turquoise waters of the southern lakefront.
Downtown Toronto
A close-up view of the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and the financial district during the descent into YTZ.
Toronto Islands
Clear views of the parklands and beaches of the Toronto Islands just seconds before touchdown.
Sit on the left for the iconic Toronto skyline approach. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Toronto glass towers perfectly for photography. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur during the Chicago departure.

Industrial Heartland
Views of the massive steel mills and industrial ports along the southern edge of Lake Michigan.
Niagara Falls
On many flight paths, Niagara Falls is visible in the distance as you cross the Niagara Peninsula.
Ontario Wine Country
The lush vineyards of the Niagara-on-the-Lake region and the striking Niagara Escarpment.
Keep your eyes peeled about 15-20 minutes before landing for a glimpse of Niagara Falls. This side is better if you prefer viewing the vastness of Lake Ontario and the unique geography of the Niagara Peninsula rather than urban skylines.
