MYRYTZ

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the Appalachian Mountains and concluding with an iconic close-up of the Toronto skyline and the CN Tower upon arrival at the island airport.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged ridges and dense forests of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny ranges.

🌊

Niagara Falls

On many flight paths, you can spot the massive mist and the Horseshoe Falls as you descend toward Lake Ontario.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

An unbeatable view of Canada's largest city, featuring the financial district and the Rogers Centre.

🗼

CN Tower

The plane flies remarkably close to this world-famous landmark during the final approach into YTZ.

🚤

Lake Erie Shoreline

Gliding over the northern edges of the Great Lakes with views of the industrial and natural coastlines.

Sit on the left side (Seat A) for the ultimate arrival. Since Billy Bishop Airport is located on an island south of downtown, the left side always faces the city skyline regardless of which runway is in use. On clear days, the descent over the Niagara Escarpment is a major highlight. For evening flights, the city lights of Toronto are spectacular from this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌾

Atlantic Piedmont

The transition from the coastal plains to the rolling hills of the inner Carolinas and Virginia.

🐍

Susquehanna River

The wide, winding paths of one of the oldest river systems in the world crossing Pennsylvania.

🍇

Finger Lakes

Distant views of the long, narrow glacial lakes of New York's famous wine country.

⛵

Lake Ontario Expanse

A vast, ocean-like view of the deep blue water as the plane crosses the international border.

🏝️

Toronto Islands

A top-down look at the parklands, beaches, and the small community of Ward's Island.

The right side (Seat D/F) is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a peaceful view of the lake's horizon during the final approach. If you are a fan of geography, watch for the distinct patterns of the Finger Lakes to the east as you pass over the New York/Pennsylvania border.
