YYZ → MBJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Sangster International Airport (Montego Bay)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Florida coastline, the shallow turquoise waters of the Great Bahama Bank, and a superior perspective of the Jamaican coastline during the final approach into Montego Bay.
Niagara Region
Potential views of the Niagara Escarpment and the distant mist of the Falls depending on the takeoff corridor.
Florida Gold Coast
A long-range view of the Miami and Fort Lauderdale skyline and the intricate Florida Keys to the west.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning views of underwater sand dunes and vibrant coral reefs near Andros Island.
Montego Bay Approach
As the plane banks for landing, enjoy views of the lush Jamaican hills and the famous 'Hip Strip' coastline.
Sit on the right for mid-day or afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun glare while photographing the Bahamas. This side provides the most iconic views of the turquoise 'shallows' and the most scenic perspective of the Jamaican shore during descent.
Toronto & Lake Ontario
Excellent views of the CN Tower and the GTA skyline immediately after departure from YYZ.
The Outer Banks
View the thin, sandy strips of North Carolina's barrier islands as the plane heads toward the Atlantic.
The Exumas
Breathtaking patterns of turquoise water and tiny white-sand cays as you pass the eastern Bahamas.
Sierra Maestra
Rugged mountainous terrain and lush green landscapes of Eastern Cuba before the final Caribbean crossing.
Choose this side for early morning departures to witness a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the best side for seeing the complex reef structures of the Exuma chain in the Bahamas midway through the flight.
