Which side of the plane to sit from Windsor Airport (Windsor) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for seeing the Lake Erie coastline, the vineyards of the Niagara Peninsula, and the iconic Toronto skyline reflecting off Lake Ontario.
Lake Erie Shoreline
Stunning coastal views of the sandy bluffs and small lakeside communities along the northern shore.
Niagara Peninsula
Fly over the lush vineyards and orchards of the Greenbelt, one of Canada's premier wine regions.
Welland Canal
Spot massive cargo ships traversing the locks that connect Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.
Toronto Skyline
Unbeatable views of the CN Tower and downtown financial district as you cross Lake Ontario toward Pearson.
The right side is the clear winner for sightseeing. On clear days, look south over the Niagara Peninsula to spot the mist rising from Niagara Falls in the distance. Late afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the Toronto skyline against the blue of Lake Ontario.
Lake St. Clair
Visible shortly after departure, providing a view of the water border between Ontario and Michigan.
Southwestern Farmland
A vast, geometric patchwork of Ontario's most productive agricultural heartland.
London Transit
Distance views of the Forest City and the winding Thames River valley to the north.
Greater Toronto Suburbs
Dense suburban landscapes of Milton and Mississauga as the plane aligns for its final descent.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. It provides a consistent view of the rural interior of Ontario. Watch for the 401 highway corridor, which acts as a primary navigational landmark for the entire flight path.
