YYZ → MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the clear winner for this route, offering a potentially iconic view of Niagara Falls shortly after takeoff and breathtaking views of the Appalachian mountain ridges throughout the mid-flight.
Niagara Falls
If the flight path tracks slightly west, you get a world-class aerial view of the Horseshoe and American Falls.
Appalachian Ridges
Witness the dramatic 'fold-and-thrust' geography of the mountains through Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Shenandoah Valley
The lush green expanse between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains is a highlight of the mid-flight.
Piedmont Cities
Spot the urban clusters of the North Carolina Piedmont, including Winston-Salem and Greensboro.
Golf Capital
The landscape transforms into a patchwork of emerald green golf courses as you enter South Carolina airspace.
The right side is essential for spotting Niagara Falls, which usually appears about 10-15 minutes after departure. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. Late afternoon flights will face the sun, so bring sunglasses or a window shade.
Toronto Skyline
Panoramic views of the CN Tower and downtown core as the aircraft climbs out over Lake Ontario.
Finger Lakes
The distinct, narrow glacial lakes of Upstate New York are visible during the initial cruise phase.
Chesapeake Bay
On clear days, the distant eastern horizon reveals the massive Chesapeake Bay estuary system.
The Grand Strand
As the plane turns for its final approach, you will see the 60-mile stretch of white sandy beaches.
Myrtle Beach Boardwalk
Look for the SkyWheel and the bustling tourist hub just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is superior for seeing the coastline and the Atlantic Ocean during the final descent into MYR. Keep an eye out for the Cape Fear River as you cross into the Carolinas.
