MUC → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Greenland coastline, including jagged fjords and massive icebergs, as well as the potential for Northern Lights on evening flights during winter months.
Dutch Coastline
Views of the intricate dikes and polders of the Netherlands and the North Sea coast.
East Greenland Fjords
Stunning views of the rugged, mountainous eastern coast of Greenland with deep blue water and white ice.
Labrador Coast
The desolate and beautiful wilderness of Northern Canada, often covered in snow and ice for much of the year.
Ottawa Valley
Lush Canadian forests and the winding Ottawa River as the flight nears its final descent.
The right side is the 'Greenland Side.' For the best views of the fjords, look out about 4 to 5 hours into the flight. On winter or late autumn flights, keep the cabin lights dim to spot the Aurora Borealis over the North Atlantic and Labrador. This side will be quite sunny throughout the day, so bring sunglasses.
Bavarian Plateau
Sweeping views of the rolling hills and forests of southern Germany immediately after takeoff.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Looking south over the vast, white expanse of the world's second-largest body of ice.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
The entry point into Canada featuring the massive estuary where the Great Lakes meet the Atlantic.
Toronto Waterfront
A spectacular view of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario if the aircraft approaches YYZ from the east.
Choose the left side if you want to avoid direct sunlight for most of the westbound flight. This side is also preferred for seeing the Toronto skyline if the wind dictates an approach from the east over Lake Ontario.
