Northumberland Strait
Beautiful views of the red-sand coastline of Prince Edward Island as you depart.
Bay of Fundy
Look for the dramatic tides and chocolate-colored waters of the Minas Basin in the distance.
Appalachian Highlands
Dense evergreen forests spanning the border regions of New Brunswick and Maine.
Toronto Waterfront
A prime view of the CN Tower and downtown skyscrapers when landing on runways 05 or 06L/R.
Lake Ontario
The final descent follows the northern shore, offering vast blue horizons and marina views.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Toronto skyline during the landing sequence, especially if the aircraft approaches from over the lake. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the landscape without glare. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the coastline views.
