Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dynamic landscape, featuring the shores of Lake Ontario, the industrial beauty of Hamilton Harbor, and the iconic Toronto skyline during the final approach to Pearson.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Ontario Coastline

The shimmering blue expanse of Lake Ontario provides a stunning contrast to the urban sprawl of the Golden Horseshoe.

🚢

Hamilton Harbor

Industrial landscapes, the Burlington Skyway, and the unique geography of the western tip of Lake Ontario.

🏙️

Toronto Skyline

Unparalleled views of the CN Tower and the downtown financial district if the flight path tracks south of the airport.

The right side is premier for evening flights to catch the city lights. Keep your window shade open as the flight is very short (approx. 25-40 minutes), and the best views occur during the final 10 minutes of the descent.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌾

Ontario Farmland

Vast geometric patterns of agricultural land and rural homesteads characteristic of southwestern Ontario.

🛣️

Highway 401

Bird's-eye view of North America's busiest highway as it snakes through the countryside toward the GTA.

🏘️

Brampton Suburbs

Extensive residential developments and commercial clusters as the plane descends into the northern Greater Toronto Area.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for better views of the rural-to-urban transition of the Peel Region.
