Which side of the plane to sit from Fredericton Airport (Fredericton) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the Toronto skyline and the CN Tower during the final descent into YYZ, as well as expansive views across Lake Ontario.
Bay of Fundy
Early in the flight, catch distant views of the world's highest tides to the south.
Appalachian Foothills
Soar over the rugged, forested terrain of northern Maine and the New Brunswick border.
Lake Ontario Shoreline
Enjoy a long cruise along the northern coast of the lake with views toward New York State.
Toronto Skyline
On the standard approach, get a front-row seat to the CN Tower and the dense downtown core.
Rogers Centre
Spot the massive stadium and the waterfront harbor as the plane banks for landing.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the horizon. During the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane often flies parallel to the Toronto shoreline, providing a perfect panorama of the city's architecture.
Saint John River
Follow the winding 'Rhine of North America' as it cuts through the New Brunswick wilderness.
Ottawa Valley
On clear days, see the sprawl of the National Capital Region and the Ottawa River to the north.
Sandbanks
Look for the distinctive white sand dunes of Prince Edward County jutting into Lake Ontario.
Kawartha Lakes
Observe the beautiful glaciated landscape of Ontario's cottage country north of the flight path.
GTA Suburban Sprawl
Watch the endless grid of the Greater Toronto Area develop as you approach the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a better perspective of the geographic transition from the Canadian Shield to the developed suburban landscape of Southern Ontario.
