MIAYYZ

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Appalachian Mountains during cruise and provides the iconic approach over Niagara Falls and the Toronto skyline upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🐊

Everglades National Park

Vast wetlands and sawgrass marshes visible immediately after departing Miami's airspace.

⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

Breathtaking views of the rolling green ridges of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny ranges.

🌊

Finger Lakes

The long, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York glisten during the descent.

💧

Niagara Falls

The most famous highlight; the falls are typically visible on the left side during the southern approach to YYZ.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

A stunning view of the CN Tower and downtown core as the plane banks toward the runway.

Choose a window seat on the left (Port) side to maximize your chances of seeing Niagara Falls and the CN Tower. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing glare for photography. In winter, the frozen patterns on Lake Ontario and the snow-capped Appalachians are particularly striking.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

Spectacular views of Miami Beach and the turquoise Atlantic coastline during takeoff.

🚀

Cape Canaveral

Look for the Kennedy Space Center launch pads if the flight path hugs the Florida coast.

🏝️

Outer Banks

The distinctive thin ribbon of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina.

🌉

Chesapeake Bay

The massive estuary and the intricate waterways around Virginia and Maryland.

🚢

Lake Ontario Shoreline

Detailed views of the industrial ports and eastern Toronto suburbs during final descent.

The right side is excellent for coastal scenery during the first half of the journey. If you are flying in the morning, be prepared for intense sunlight and heat from this side. Keep an eye out for the Manhattan skyline in the distance if the flight path stays inland over New Jersey.
