YYZ → GGT
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Exuma International Airport (Great Exuma)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the premier choice for this route because it offers the most spectacular views of the Exuma Cays during the descent. As the aircraft approaches Great Exuma from the north, passengers on the right are treated to a continuous chain of sapphire-blue waters and white sandbars that are iconic to the Bahamas.

Toronto City View
On most southbound departures, the right side provides a panoramic view of the CN Tower and the downtown core.
Chesapeake Bay
Aerial views of the massive bridge-tunnel systems and the complex coastal geography of Maryland and Virginia.
The Exuma Cays
A breathtaking sequence of dozens of small islands surrounded by swirling turquoise and neon-blue water.
The Bahamas Banks
Vast areas of shallow water with intricate sand patterns that look like abstract paintings from high altitude.
GGT Final Approach
Low-level views of the rocky shoreline and the crystal-clear water of the northern Great Exuma coast.
The right side is the 'money side' for this flight. Ensure you have your camera ready approximately 30 minutes before arrival to capture the transition into the Exuma Cays. Sit behind the wing for the most unobstructed view of the water colors. For the best lighting without sun glare, choose a seat on this side for flights departing Toronto in the morning or early afternoon.

Beautiful views of the Toronto shoreline and the vast lake surface during the initial climb out of YYZ.
Appalachian Range
Rolling green hills and ridgelines of the eastern United States visible during the cruise phase over Pennsylvania.
Outer Banks
The distinct thin strip of the North Carolina coastline where the Atlantic meets the inland sounds.
Deep Atlantic Transition
Watch the water color change from deep navy to bright cerulean as you enter the Bahamian archipelago.
Stocking Island
A view of the long barrier island protecting the harbor of Georgetown just before the final turn for landing.
On the left side, the morning sun can be quite intense, making it harder to photograph the landscape. If you are on a morning flight, use a polarized lens filter to cut through the haze and glare of the Atlantic. This side is better for seeing the vastness of the ocean and the approach into Elizabeth Harbour.
