YYZ → CCC
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Jardines Del Rey Airport (Cunagua)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning Bahamas archipelago and the vivid turquoise waters of the Jardines del Rey reef system during the final approach.
Toronto Waterfront
Uninterrupted views of the CN Tower and the Lake Ontario shoreline immediately after departure.
The Outer Banks
Visual of the long, thin barrier islands of North Carolina contrasting against the deep Atlantic.
Abaco Islands
The first major Caribbean-style views featuring brilliant turquoise water and coral formations.
Eleuthera Coast
Observe the striking contrast between the dark blue Atlantic and the pale turquoise Bight of Eleuthera.
Cat Island
Clear views of the pristine white beaches and isolated cays of the central Bahamas.
Jardines del Rey Reefs
Vibrant coral reefs and white sandbars visible as the plane descends into Cayo Coco.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft for better photography of the Bahamas. The descent into CCC is particularly scenic on this side as the plane often banks over the northern reefs before landing.
Niagara Falls
Depending on the departure corridor, look out for the mist and Horseshoe Falls in the distance.
Appalachian Mountains
Cross over the rolling, forested ridges of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Florida Gold Coast
Distance views of the Miami and Fort Lauderdale skyline and their brightly lit beaches.
Andros Island
The largest Bahamian island, known for its deep green mangroves and the 'Tongue of the Ocean' drop-off.
Old Bahama Channel
The deep, dark blue shipping lane that separates the Bahama Bank from the Cuban coastline.
The right side is preferred for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It offers better views of the US interior and the intricate tidal channels of Andros Island before crossing into Cuban airspace.
