Which side of the plane to sit from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior scenic experience, featuring a dramatic departure over the historic forts of Old San Juan and a prime view of Niagara Falls during the descent into Toronto.
Old San Juan
Aerial views of the 16th-century Castillo San Felipe del Morro and the colorful colonial buildings of the old city upon departure.
The Bahamas
Stunning vistas of turquoise waters and scattered coral cays as the flight path crosses the western Atlantic island chains.
Chesapeake Bay
A massive view of the largest estuary in the United States, showing the intricate coastlines of Virginia and Maryland.
Appalachian Mountains
The rolling, forested ridges of the Appalachian range stretching across the northeastern United States.
Niagara Falls
An iconic view of the Horseshoe and American Falls on the approach to Toronto, usually visible just before crossing Lake Ontario.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. The highlight of the trip is Niagara Falls; watch for it roughly 20-30 minutes before landing. Ensure your window is clear for the takeoff from SJU to capture the historic coastline.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean with interesting cloud formations and maritime traffic.
East Coast Shoreline
Distant views of the New Jersey coastline and the silhouette of the New York City skyline if the route stays coastal.
Finger Lakes
The distinct, long glacial lakes of Upstate New York visible as the flight transitions toward the Canadian border.
Toronto Skyline
A view of the CN Tower and the downtown Toronto financial district during the final banking maneuvers over Lake Ontario.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from San Juan. As you approach Toronto, you will have a wide-angle view of the Lake Ontario shoreline and the expanding Greater Toronto Area suburbia.
