Our Recommendation
9.2

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.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

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.
