Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is superior for catching the iconic view of Niagara Falls shortly after takeoff and the dramatic approach into the Bogota savanna, showcasing the city nestled against the eastern Andean mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Toronto Skyline

Stunning views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shoreline immediately after departure from Pearson.

🌊

Niagara Falls

A breathtaking aerial perspective of the Horseshoe and American Falls as the flight heads south over the border.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

Clear views of the long, folded mountain ridges of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

🏖️

US East Coast

Vistas of the Atlantic coastline and the Outer Banks of North Carolina as the flight path hugs the shore.

🏝️

The Bahamas

Glimpses of turquoise waters and coral reefs near the northern Bahamian islands during the Caribbean crossing.

🏔️

Eastern Cordillera

The dramatic rising peaks of the Colombian Andes as you descend into the high-altitude Sabana de Bogota.

For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the left side receives direct sunlight, so have your camera ready early for Niagara Falls. During the final 20 minutes, keep your window shade up for an incredible view of Bogota's urban sprawl against the backdrop of the Monserrate and Guadalupe mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
💧

Lake Erie

Expansive views of the smallest of the Great Lakes and the industrial heartland of Ohio.

🌲

Blue Ridge Mountains

The dense, forested slopes of the southern Appalachian range stretching toward the horizon.

🚢

Gulf of Mexico

Deep blue waters and heavy shipping traffic visible as the aircraft passes over the Florida Panhandle.

🌊

Western Caribbean

Vast ocean horizons and occasional glimpses of the Cayman Islands depending on the specific airway.

🐍

Magdalena River

The winding, silt-laden path of Colombia's most important river as it snakes through the valley below.

🗻

Nevado del Ruiz

On clear days, the snow-capped volcanic peaks of the Central Andes may be visible in the distance to the west.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it avoids the harsh glare of the sun, making it easier to spot the winding Magdalena River. It provides a better perspective of the transition from tropical lowlands to the mountainous interior of Colombia. Use a polarising filter if photographing to cut through the tropical haze typical over the Caribbean Sea.
