YYZ → FLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Atlantic coastline and the stunning turquoise waters of the Florida coast during the final descent into Fort Lauderdale.
Lake Erie
Expansive views of the eastern portion of Lake Erie shortly after departing the Greater Toronto Area.
Mid-Atlantic Corridor
Distal views of the lights and layout of major coastal hubs like Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Outer Banks
Occasional sightings of the thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina stretching into the Atlantic.
Charleston Coastline
The historic harbor and intricate waterways of the South Carolina coast come into view mid-flight.
Florida Gold Coast
Unrivaled views of the Atlantic beaches and coastal development from West Palm Beach down to Fort Lauderdale.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also best for seeing the shoreline during the standard approach into FLL, which often involves a loop over the water before landing.
Appalachian Mountains
Detailed views of the ridge-and-valley province stretching through Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Charlotte Skyline
A clear view of North Carolina's largest city and its distinct uptown skyscrapers.
Central Florida Lakes
A patchwork of hundreds of inland lakes near the Orlando area during the southern leg of the journey.
The Everglades
The vast, emerald-green wetlands of the Florida Everglades visible during the descent into South Florida.
Fort Lauderdale Suburbs
The intricate canal systems and suburban sprawl of Broward County just before touchdown.
Select the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the inland geography and the unique ecosystem of the Everglades if the flight path approaches from the west.
