UVF β YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Hewanorra International Airport (Hewandorra) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this route, offering a spectacular departure view of Saint Lucia's volcanic landscape, prime views of the Bahamas' turquoise waters, and a high probability of seeing Niagara Falls during the descent into Toronto.
The Pitons
The iconic UNESCO World Heritage twin peaks are often visible shortly after takeoff from UVF.
Lesser Antilles Chain
Views of Martinique's Mount Pelee and the lush mountainous terrain of Dominica and Guadeloupe.
Exuma Cays
Stunning aerial perspectives of the vibrant turquoise waters and white sandbars of the Bahamas.
US Eastern Seaboard
The coastline of the Carolinas and potential views of the New York City skyline depending on the airway.
Niagara Falls
An unparalleled view of the Horseshoe and American Falls as the flight descends over the Niagara peninsula.
For the best experience, select a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion. On the approach to YYZ, aircraft arriving from the south typically pass directly over or slightly west of Niagara Falls; the left side is the primary side for this view. Mid-day flights provide the best lighting for the shallow reefs in the Caribbean, though the sun will be on this side during afternoon northbound flights.
Soufrière Hills
A distant view of the active volcanic landscape of Montserrat as you head north.
Atlantic Ocean
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic and high-altitude views of cruise ships in the shipping lanes.
Outer Banks
The narrow, sandy strips of North Carolina's barrier islands visible across the wing.
Toronto Skyline
A clear view of the CN Tower and downtown Toronto if the flight pattern circles over Lake Ontario.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. While it offers more open-ocean views than the left, it provides an excellent vantage point for the Toronto skyline if the aircraft is directed into a 'downwind' leg for runways 24L or 24R. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the dark blue Atlantic to the green-blue of the Great Lakes.
