Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, combining the vibrant reef systems of Grace Bay on departure with the iconic Niagara Falls and Toronto skyline sequence upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Grace Bay Beach

Look down upon the world-famous white sands and the intricate coral reef systems of the Princess Alexandra National Park.

🌊

Atlantic Seaboard

Expansive views of the deep indigo Atlantic Ocean and the white crests of major shipping lanes.

🌊

Niagara Falls

A breathtaking view of the mist and the Horseshoe Falls as the flight path crosses the border from New York into Ontario.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

The most iconic view of the CN Tower and the densely packed skyscrapers of the Financial District during the descent.

🚤

Lake Ontario

The transition from the blue waters of the Great Lake to the bustling Toronto waterfront and harbour.

The right side is essential for the Niagara Falls view, which typically appears 15 to 20 minutes before touchdown. If the aircraft lands on the 24 or 23 runways (the most common configuration), you will have a front-row seat to the Toronto city skyline and the CN Tower. Be aware that morning flights on this side will face the sun, so bring sunglasses.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Caicos Banks

A stunning perspective of the shallow, neon-turquoise limestone shelf stretching south from the island.

🏖️

Chalk Sound

Glimpse the brilliant, glass-like waters of this land-locked lagoon dotted with tiny limestone islands.

🌊

Great Abaco

On a clear day, view the eastern edge of the Bahamas as you transition to the open Atlantic.

🏗️

Chesapeake Bay

Aerial views of the massive bridge-tunnel systems and the intricate coastline of the Mid-Atlantic.

🚜

Ontario Lowlands

The neatly gridded agricultural patterns of the Niagara Peninsula as you cross into Canadian airspace.

Choose the left side for midday flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side provides the best view of the distinct 'drop-off' where the shallow Caicos Banks meet the deep blue ocean. Keep an eye out for the Outer Banks of North Carolina about halfway through the flight.
