Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Finger Lakes of New York, the vast Chesapeake Bay, and the spectacular turquoise transitions of the Bahamian coral reefs and sandbars before landing near the iconic limestone karsts of Los Haitises.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Niagara Falls

If the flight path tracks west, the falls and the Mist Rider are often visible in the distance shortly after takeoff.

🚜

Finger Lakes

The distinct, long glacial lakes of New York State provide a unique geometric pattern from above.

⚓

Chesapeake Bay

An incredible view of the massive estuary and the engineering marvel of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

🇧🇸

Great Bahama Bank

World-famous views of shallow turquoise waters and white sandbars contrasting against the deep blue sea.

🛶

Los Haitises National Park

Dramatic views of the unique limestone hill formations (mogotes) and mangrove forests during the final approach into AZS.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route, especially for the Bahamas crossing. Between January and March, keep a close watch on the waters of Samaná Bay during the final descent for a chance to spot breaching humpback whales.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Toronto Skyline

A final look at the CN Tower and the downtown core as the aircraft climbs out of Pearson.

🌊

Lake Ontario

Crossing the expansive blue waters between the Canadian and US borders.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

Linear mountain formations and dense forest cover stretching across Pennsylvania and Virginia.

🏝️

Turks and Caicos

Distant views of remote atolls and deep ocean trenches on the descent into the Caribbean.

🌴

Samaná Peninsula

Aerial views of the lush, coconut-tree-covered hills typical of the Dominican Republic's northern coast.

Ideal for early morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Upon approach to Samaná, the left side provides a better view of the rugged coastline and hidden beaches of the peninsula's northern edge.
