YYZ → GEO
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Georgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the preferred choice for this route as it typically offers a breathtaking view of Niagara Falls shortly after takeoff from Toronto and the massive Essequibo River delta upon arrival in Guyana.
Niagara Falls
One of the world's most famous waterfalls is often visible to the south shortly after the plane levels off from YYZ.
Appalachian Ridges
The folded mountain chains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia provide textured terrain views during the first hour of flight.
The Bahamas
The stunning white sands and shallow sapphire waters of the Exuma Cays are frequently visible from this side.
Essequibo River
The largest river in Guyana and the third largest in South America appears as a massive, island-filled waterway on approach.
Guiana Shield Rainforest
Endless stretches of pristine, dense tropical canopy that define the interior of the Guyanese landscape.
For the best view of Niagara Falls, look out within the first 10-15 minutes of flight. As you approach Guyana, the right side provides a superior perspective of the sprawling rainforest and the dramatic scale of the Essequibo River, which is over 20 miles wide at its mouth.
Toronto Skyline
A stunning view of the CN Tower and the Lake Ontario waterfront immediately following departure from Pearson.
Atlantic Seaboard
Distant views of the U.S. East Coast and the transition from the continental shelf to the deep blue Atlantic.
Turks and Caicos
Vibrant turquoise waters and coral reefs visible as the flight path crosses the Caribbean toward South America.
Georgetown City
A clear view of the Guyanese capital's grid layout and the historic wooden architecture during the final descent.
Demerara Harbour Bridge
Spot the long floating bridge spanning the Demerara River just before landing at GEO.
On morning flights, the left side will face the rising sun, which may cause glare and heat. It is excellent for spotting the Demerara River's muddy 'brown water' meeting the blue Atlantic, a unique geographic phenomenon in this region.
