Which side of the plane to sit from Charlottetown Airport (Charlottetown) to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side typically offers a spectacular approach into Toronto over Lake Ontario, providing a clear view of the CN Tower and the city's waterfront, along with a glimpse of the Bay of Fundy mid-flight.
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.
Confederation Bridge
An aerial perspective of the 12.9km engineering marvel connecting PEI to New Brunswick.
St. Lawrence River
Views of the wide river valley and the shipping lanes leading toward the Atlantic.
Greater Montreal Area
Distant views of Mount Royal and the urban sprawl of Quebec's largest city.
Ottawa Valley
Glimpses of the landscape near the Canadian capital as the plane enters Ontario airspace.
GTA Suburbs
A detailed look at the sprawling residential patterns of Markham, Richmond Hill, and Vaughan.
The right side is superior for viewing the Confederation Bridge shortly after takeoff. If you are flying in the late afternoon, the right side is better for avoiding the direct glare of the sun. This side also offers a better view of the agricultural patterns across Eastern Ontario and the St. Lawrence Lowlands.
