Detroit-Windsor Border
A fantastic view of the Detroit River, the Ambassador Bridge, and the downtown skyscrapers of both cities.
Lake St. Clair
The bright turquoise waters of the lake provide a beautiful contrast to the surrounding urban industrial landscape.
Chicago Skyline
The majestic silhouette of the Willis Tower and the Lake Michigan shoreline often appear while crossing northern Illinois.
Mississippi River
The crossing of the Great River provides a massive geographic landmark that signals the approach to Missouri.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights as you avoid direct sun while catching the 'golden hour' glow on the Detroit and Chicago skylines. Look for the distinct change in topography as the Great Lakes forest gives way to the prairie landscape.

Visible shortly after departure from Toronto, showing the vineyards and the mist from Niagara Falls in the distance.
Cleveland Skyline
Clear views of the Ohio shoreline and the city center across the southern edge of Lake Erie.
Indiana Farmland
The iconic geometric patchwork of the American Midwest with its diverse crop colors and rural road grids.
Missouri River Bends
Intricate oxbow lakes and winding river paths as the flight descends into the Kansas City metro area.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and harsh glare. If the plane departs to the south, look out the window immediately for a panoramic view of the Greater Toronto Area and the CN Tower.
