Breathtaking views of the CN Tower and the dense downtown core immediately after takeoff from Pearson.
Niagara Falls
A spectacular aerial view of the Horseshoe and American Falls as the aircraft crosses the Niagara Peninsula.

Clear views of the Buffalo, New York skyline and the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Erie.

Cleveland Downtown
Approaching CLE, you often get a direct view of Progressive Field and the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Niagara Falls; however, visibility depends on the specific departure corridor assigned by ATC. For the best photography of the falls, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distortion.
