Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an iconic view of the Toronto skyline immediately after takeoff from YTZ and offers a birds-eye view of the vast open-pit mines surrounding Timmins during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Toronto Skyline

Unbeatable, close-up views of the CN Tower and the downtown core's skyscrapers right after departure.

⛵

Muskoka District

View the prestige cottage country of Ontario, featuring Lake Simcoe and the winding shorelines of Lake Muskoka.

⛏️

Open Pit Mines

Large-scale mining operations and deep pits, such as the Kidd Operations, are visible on the approach to Timmins.

🍁

Algonquin Edge

Fly along the western boundary of Ontario's most famous provincial park, showcasing dense maple and pine forests.

The right side is essential for the Toronto city view; sit forward of the wing for the best photography. On landing, look for the colorful mineral-rich tailings ponds which appear in striking shades of green and orange.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Western Waterfront

Panoramic views of the Golden Horseshoe shoreline and the suburban sprawl of Mississauga during the climb.

🏖️

Georgian Bay Coast

The stunning blue waters and sandy stretches of Wasaga Beach are often visible to the west.

🌲

Boreal Shield

Endless stretches of the Canadian Shield, characterized by ancient granite and thousands of small, remote lakes.

🏔️

Blue Mountains

Distant views of the Niagara Escarpment as it meets the shores of Lake Huron.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Northern Ontario wilderness. This side is also better for spotting the transition from farmland to dense forest about 30 minutes into the flight.
