Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Sir Grantley Adams International Airport (Bridgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a high probability of seeing Niagara Falls shortly after takeoff, followed by expansive views of the US East Coast and the stunning turquoise 'Platinum Coast' of Barbados upon arrival.
Niagara Falls
Depending on the flight path, you can often see the mist and the iconic horseshoe shape from high altitude.
Outer Banks
The unique, narrow barrier islands of North Carolina are often visible if the flight tracks along the coastline.
Bermuda Triangle Edge
As the flight moves south over the Atlantic, observe the shifting cloud formations and deep ocean blues.
The Platinum Coast
Stunning views of the luxury resorts and white sandy beaches on the western side of Barbados during descent.
Bridgetown Harbor
A birds-eye view of the capital city and the large cruise ships docked in the Deep Water Harbour.
Select the right side for morning flights to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft. For the best view of the Barbados coastline, try to get a seat in front of the wing. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for a potential Niagara Falls sighting.
Toronto Skyline
Clear views of the CN Tower and the downtown core immediately following takeoff from YYZ.
Lake Ontario
A full crossing of the lake, providing a sense of scale for the Great Lakes system.
Northeast Corridor
Distant views of the densely populated US East Coast, including the New York City metro area.
North Point
The rugged, rocky northern tip of Barbados where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean.
Bathsheba Coast
Witness the dramatic surf and massive rock formations of the Atlantic-facing eastern shore.
Choose this side for afternoon departures to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Barbados, look out for the distinct change in water color from the deep blue of the Atlantic to the lighter shades near the island's reefs.
