Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Providenciales Airport (Providenciales)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the Caribbean's most vibrant turquoise waters, specifically the Exuma Cays and the sprawling Caicos Bank during the descent.
Appalachian Mountains
Stunning views of the folded mountain ridges stretching through Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The Outer Banks
The thin, sandy barrier islands of North Carolina visible as the flight crosses the coastline.
The Bahamas Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the bright turquoise waters of Eleuthera and the Exuma Cays from cruising altitude.
The Caicos Bank
The dramatic transition from deep navy ocean to shallow, neon-teal water as the plane nears Providenciales.
Providenciales Coastline
Detailed views of the island's reefs, Chalk Sound, and the western shoreline during the landing sequence.
The right side is the premier choice for this route. To capture the best colors of the Bahamian reefs, midday flights are ideal when the sun is high. Ensure your window is clear about 3 hours into the flight when the turquoise water first appears.
Toronto Skyline
A clear view of the Greater Toronto Area and the shoreline of Lake Ontario immediately after takeoff from YYZ.
Atlantic Ocean Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight moves away from the US East Coast.
Ocean Sunrise
On early morning departures, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun rising over the open sea.
East Caicos
Aerial views of the more remote, uninhabited eastern islands of the Turks and Caicos chain during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise, or if you prefer a cooler cabin away from the direct afternoon sun. On certain landing patterns, you may get a distant view of the famous Grace Bay beach.
