The right side offers a spectacular, close-up panoramic view of the Toronto skyline and CN Tower during the final approach into Billy Bishop Airport, which is one of the most scenic urban landings in North America.
Search flights from YOW to YTZ
Parliament Hill
Excellent view of the historic government buildings in Ottawa immediately after takeoff.
Kawartha Lakes
A beautiful patchwork of forests and interconnected lakes in rural Ontario during the cruise phase.
Toronto Skyline
An iconic, eye-level view of the CN Tower and the skyscrapers of the Financial District.
Rogers Centre
Direct view into the stadium and the surrounding Harbourfront development just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of the CN Tower. Aim for a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed photo of the skyline. On evening flights, the city lights reflecting off the downtown glass towers are breathtaking. Be prepared for a sharp bank during the approach which provides a dramatic angle of the city.

Lake Ontario Coastline
Continuous views of the northern shoreline and the vast expanse of the lake surface.
Prince Edward County
The distinctive peninsula and Sandbanks Provincial Park are visible midway through the flight.
Port of Oshawa
Industrial shipping docks and large cargo vessels frequently visible near the shoreline.
Toronto Islands
Aerial perspective of the parklands and beaches of the outer islands during the final turn.
Sit on this side during early morning flights to see the sunrise over Lake Ontario without the sun's glare hitting your window directly. It is also the better side for viewing the Leslie Street Spit as you descend.
