Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point of Lake Ontario's coastline and a dramatic view of the Toronto skyline and CN Tower during the final approach into Pearson.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Lake Ontario Coastline

Expansive views of the deep blue waters and the international maritime border throughout the flight.

🏖️

Sandbanks Provincial Park

Distant views of the unique white sand dunes and the southern tip of Prince Edward County.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

An iconic panoramic view of the CN Tower and financial district skyscrapers as you descend.

⚓

Toronto Islands

A clear bird's-eye view of the parklands, beaches, and Billy Bishop Airport at the city's edge.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare from the south. During the final descent, keep your camera ready for the transition from open water to the dense urban core of the Greater Toronto Area.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
✈️

CFB Trenton

Spot the massive transport planes parked at Canada's largest air force base near the Bay of Quinte.

🍎

The Big Apple

Look for the giant apple-shaped landmark in Colborne, a famous stop along the 401 corridor.

📉

Scarborough Bluffs

Striking white sedimentary cliffs and turquoise water along the eastern edge of the city.

🛣️

Highway 401

Observe the massive scale of North America's busiest highway snaking through the landscape below.

This side is excellent for terrestrial navigation. Look for the distinct 'Z' shape of the Bay of Quinte shortly after takeoff. It is particularly scenic in autumn when the Ontario forests turn vibrant red and gold.
