Which side of the plane to sit from Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport (Toronto) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled 'double-city' experience, featuring the dense Toronto skyline upon departure and a high probability of a spectacular Manhattan view on the approach into Newark.
Toronto Skyline
Immediate views of the CN Tower and downtown core right after takeoff from the island.
Lake Ontario
Crossing the Great Lake provides a vast expanse of blue and coastal views.
Finger Lakes
Aerial perspective of the narrow glacial lakes of Central New York.
Manhattan Skyline
A world-class view of the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center on descent.
Hudson River
Follow the scenic river valley as you approach the New York City metro area.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see NYC. During evening flights, the lit-up Toronto and Manhattan skylines are breathtaking. If the plane circles north of Newark, keep your camera ready for the Statue of Liberty.
Niagara Falls
Look west shortly after takeoff to spot the mist and power of the massive cataracts.
Toronto Islands
Excellent views of Hanlan's Point and the lush greenery of the island parks.
Buffalo
Aerial view of the historic architecture and waterfront of the Queen City.
Appalachian Plateau
Observe the rugged ridges and deep valleys of the mountain chain below.
Meadowlands
Final views of the massive stadium complex and marshes before landing.
Niagara Falls is the major draw here; look out about 10-15 minutes after takeoff. In autumn, the right side provides stunning views of the changing foliage over the Appalachian ridges.
