Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the rugged Georgian Bay coastline, the heart of the Muskoka Lakes, and typically provides the iconic view of the Toronto skyline and CN Tower during the final approach into Pearson.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Nipissing

Immediately after departure, enjoy a wide panoramic view of North Bay's primary lake and the Manitou Islands.

🏝️

Georgian Bay Coast

In the distance, the '30,000 Islands' of Parry Sound and the turquoise waters of Georgian Bay are visible.

🚤

Muskoka Lakes

Clear views of Lake Joseph and Lake Muskoka, known for their distinct shape and numerous islands.

🎢

Canada's Wonderland

The massive rollercoasters of Canada's premier theme park are easily spotted in Vaughan during the descent.

🗼

CN Tower & Downtown

On a standard approach, the right side offers a spectacular view of the Toronto skyline and the harbor front.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the lakes and the Toronto skyline isn't obstructed. On evening flights, this side provides stunning sunset views over the waters of Georgian Bay before the city lights of Toronto take over.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Algonquin Highlands

The dense, rolling greenery of the western edge of Algonquin Provincial Park is visible shortly after takeoff.

🛶

Lake Rosseau

Aerial views of the eastern Muskoka region, dotted with luxury cottages and private docks.

🌊

Lake Simcoe

A massive freshwater lake appearing to the south-east as the aircraft begins its initial descent.

🏢

North York Skyline

The high-rise clusters of the northern GTA become prominent as you cross over Highway 407.

💧

Lake Ontario

The vast blue expanse of the Great Lake creates a sharp horizon line during the final turn for landing.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. It also offers a great look at the urban sprawl of the eastern Greater Toronto Area if the aircraft is routed for a downwind leg approach from the east.
