Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route as it typically offers a direct, stunning view of Niagara Falls shortly after takeoff and better angles of the Appalachian mountain ridges.

Niagara Falls
An unparalleled aerial perspective of the Horseshoe and American Falls just minutes after departing Toronto.
Allegheny Mountains
Beautiful views of the folded ridge-and-valley Appalachians stretching across Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Monongahela National Forest
Dense, lush forest cover and rugged terrain that looks particularly vibrant during the autumn foliage season.
New River Gorge
The deep canyon and iconic steel arch bridge are often visible when flying over southern West Virginia.
Stone Mountain
The massive granite dome east of Atlanta serves as a landmark during the final descent into Hartsfield-Jackson.
Choose the left side and stay alert during the first 10 minutes of flight for the best chance to see Niagara Falls. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a polarising filter for photos. In the fall, this side provides superior views of the changing colors across the Appalachian range.

ATL Airport Scale
Watch the massive scale of the world's busiest airport layout and parallel runway operations during landing.
The right side is perfect for evening flights to catch the sunset over the American Midwest. It avoids direct morning glare, making it easier to spot the urban centers of Ohio. If the airport is landing from the west, you may catch a distant glimpse of the downtown Atlanta skyline.
