Which side of the plane to sit from Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline shortly after takeoff, the distinct glacial Finger Lakes of New York, and the most iconic panoramic views of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario during the descent.
The Grand Strand
Sweeping views of the Myrtle Beach coastline and the Atlantic horizon immediately after departure.
Chesapeake Bay
Distant but clear views of the massive estuary and the sprawling coastal plains of the Mid-Atlantic.
The Finger Lakes
The strikingly long, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York, particularly Seneca and Cayuga lakes.
Lake Ontario
The vast, deep blue expanse of the lake as the aircraft crosses the international border into Canada.
CN Tower & Toronto Skyline
Spectacular views of downtown Toronto and the harborfront during the standard approach into Pearson.
This side is essential for the Toronto approach; if the wind is from the west, you will likely fly directly past the CN Tower. Late afternoon flights offer golden-hour lighting on the Finger Lakes and the Toronto glass skyscrapers. Use a polarizing filter to reduce glare when shooting over Lake Ontario.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Rolling ridges and hazy blue peaks of the Appalachian range visible through Virginia and West Virginia.
Allegheny National Forest
Dense, undulating canopies and deep river valleys of the Pennsylvania wilderness.
Pittsburgh Metro
Occasional distant views of the Three Rivers confluence and the industrial landscape of Western Pennsylvania.
Niagara Escarpment
The dramatic geological ridge that eventually forms Niagara Falls, visible as you cross into Ontario.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, which provides the best lighting for the deep textures of the Appalachian ridges. A seat forward of the wing is recommended to avoid engine exhaust distortion when capturing mountain photography.
