YYZ โ CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this eastbound route, offering potential views of the Greenland ice cap, the rugged Newfoundland coast, and the northern lights.
St. Lawrence River
Visible early in the flight, showcasing the deep blue waters and the scenic Gaspรฉ Peninsula of Quebec.
Newfoundland Coast
Rugged cliffs and potential icebergs drifting in the Labrador Current during spring months.
Greenland Ice Cap
On northern tracks, witness the breathtaking jagged glaciers and fjords of southern Greenland.
English Channel
The busy waterway separating the UK from mainland Europe as you approach the continent.
Normandy Coast
Aerial views of the historic beaches and white chalk cliffs of northern France.
Sit on the left for a chance to see the Aurora Borealis during winter night flights. As you cross the Atlantic at dawn, keep your window shade open to catch the sunrise reflecting off the clouds. Look for icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland in May and June.
Toronto Skyline
Spectacular views of the CN Tower and the Lake Ontario shoreline immediately after takeoff.
Maritime Provinces
The beautiful, jagged coastlines of Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy visible shortly after departure.
Southern Ireland
The lush green fields and rocky southern coast of the Emerald Isle upon reaching Europe.
Southern England
Rolling hills and rural patches of the English countryside before crossing the channel.
Parisian Suburbs
The sprawling, dense urban landscape of the รle-de-France region on the final approach.
The right side offers the best views of the Toronto departure and Lake Ontario. During the descent into CDG, this side may provide a distant glimpse of the Eiffel Tower if the flight path approaches from the south or west. It is also the side to watch for the moon rising over the Atlantic.
