Montreal West Island
Bird's-eye view of Lake St-Louis and the residential suburbs of Montreal during departure.
Prince Edward County
Look for the distinct white sand dunes of Sandbanks Provincial Park jutting into Lake Ontario.
The Golden Horseshoe
The dense urban corridor of the Greater Toronto Area becomes visible as you track the northern lake shore.
CN Tower & Downtown
An incredibly close-up view of Canada's most famous landmark and the financial district skyscrapers.
Toronto Harbour
A view of the ferries and sailboats in the inner harbor just seconds before touching down on the island.
This side is essential for the full YTZ experience. The approach is usually from the east, placing the entire Toronto skyline directly out the right-side windows. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat blur, especially during sunset when the glass towers glow orange.

St. Lawrence Seaway
Direct views of the shipping channels and the south shore of Quebec shortly after takeoff.
Beauharnois Canal
Observe the massive locks and infrastructure of the power station and canal system.
Thousand Islands
Distal views of the famous archipelago where the St. Lawrence River meets Lake Ontario.
Lake Ontario South Shore
Vast views of the open lake with the New York state coastline visible on clear days.
Choose this side if you prefer seeing the geological transition from river to Great Lake. It is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the southern shoreline and creates a glisten on the St. Lawrence Seaway.
