YYZ → ANU
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the iconic view of Niagara Falls shortly after departure and generally provides a more scenic perspective of the Caribbean islands and the Antiguan coastline during the descent and approach.
Toronto Skyline
A great perspective of the CN Tower and the downtown core depending on the departure runway.
Niagara Falls
One of the world's most famous natural wonders is often visible on the right side within 10-15 minutes of takeoff.
Appalachian Ridges
The distinct folded mountain patterns of Pennsylvania and West Virginia are visible during the first hour of flight.
Virgin Islands
As you descend, look for the emerald peaks of the British and US Virgin Islands in the distance.
Antigua Approach
Stunning views of the island's irregular coastline, coral reefs, and the hilly southern terrain during the landing sequence.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. To see Niagara Falls, look out the window shortly after the initial climb; the plane typically passes just west of the falls. During the final approach into V.C. Bird Airport, this side usually gets a better view of the island's lush interior and white-sand beaches as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Lake Ontario
Expansive views of the lake's blue waters immediately after departing Toronto's airspace.
Jersey Shore & Delmarva
Distant but clear views of the winding Atlantic coastline and barrier islands of the mid-Atlantic states.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunrise over the open ocean on morning departures from YYZ.
Shipping Lanes
Spotting large cargo vessels and cruise ships traversing the deep Atlantic waters toward the Caribbean.
Choose this side if you prefer watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean on early morning flights. Once the plane passes the Carolinas, the view is predominantly open water until the final minutes of the flight. Watch for the dramatic color change from deep navy to turquoise as you approach the Caribbean shelf.
