WAW → YYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers world-class views of the Greenland ice cap, coastal glaciers, and the vast, untouched wilderness of the Canadian Shield.
Search flights from WAW to YYZ
Norwegian Fjords
Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the dramatic, jagged coastline and deep inlets of Norway.
Iceland
On more northerly tracks, the volcanic landscapes and glaciers of Iceland are clearly visible.
Greenland Ice Sheet
The absolute highlight: hundreds of miles of pristine white ice, crevasses, and massive glaciers meeting the sea.
Labrador Tundra
The barren, beautiful, and frozen landscapes of Northern Labrador, dotted with thousands of lakes.
Laurentian Mountains
Dense boreal forests and the rolling hills of the Canadian Shield as you head toward Ontario.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. To fully enjoy the Greenland crossing, which usually happens 4-5 hours into the flight, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing. Be mindful that in winter months, the northern latitude may mean much of the Greenland section is in twilight or darkness, so aim for a mid-morning departure from Warsaw to maximize daylight over the Arctic.
Book Hotels in Toronto
Berlin & Northern Germany
Depending on the specific airway, you may catch views of the German capital and the sprawling European plains.
North Atlantic Ocean
An expansive view of the deep blue ocean, perfect for spotting unique cloud formations and ship wakes.
Newfoundland Coastline
The rugged cliffs and rocky shores of eastern Canada as the plane makes its first landfall.
Lake Ontario
The approach into Toronto offers a massive view of this Great Lake, appearing like an inland sea.
Toronto Skyline
A stunning view of the CN Tower and the downtown financial district during the final descent into YYZ.
Choose the left side for better lighting conditions on afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. This side is also superior for the final approach into Pearson if the aircraft is landing towards the west, as it frequently offers the iconic view of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario.
