Which side of the plane to sit from Greater Rochester International Airport (Rochester) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic view of the journey: the Toronto skyline and CN Tower as the aircraft maneuvers over Lake Ontario for its final approach.

Irondequoit Bay
A beautiful natural bay just east of Rochester visible during the initial ascent.
Open Water
Expansive views of Lake Ontario, where you can often spot large freighter ships.
Toronto Skyline
Unrivaled views of the CN Tower and the cluster of downtown skyscrapers on approach.
Toronto Islands
The chain of small islands and the city's waterfront parkland as the plane descends.
The right side is the clear winner for the Toronto approach. To avoid glare and get the best photos of the city, morning flights are recommended as the sun will be behind the aircraft.
