Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Toronto skyline during departure and the stunning turquoise reef patterns of the Turks and Caicos and Bahamas during the Caribbean descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Toronto Skyline

Unobstructed views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario's shoreline immediately after takeoff from Pearson.

🏖️

The Outer Banks

The thin, sandy ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands is often visible as the flight tracks toward the Atlantic.

🏝️

Turks and Caicos

Incredible aerial perspectives of the shallow, vibrant turquoise waters and coral reefs near Providenciales.

⛰️

Dominican Cordillera

The lush, green mountain ranges of northern Hispaniola come into view as you approach the island.

Book a window seat on the left for a morning flight to avoid the harshest sun glare. This side is consistently better for seeing the transition from the deep Atlantic blue to the bright turquoise of the Caribbean islands. If the flight departs to the east, the Toronto skyline view is iconic.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Lake Erie

Extensive views of the Great Lakes region as the aircraft climbs and turns south toward the coast.

⛰️

Appalachian Mountains

Geometric patterns of the ridge-and-valley province through Pennsylvania and Virginia.

🚢

Open Atlantic

Expansive views of the deep ocean, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward major US East Coast ports.

🌴

Punta Cana Coastline

The final approach often provides a great view of the white sand beaches and luxury resorts along the Bavaro coast.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the horizon as you approach the Dominican Republic. It offers a more expansive view of the resort strip in Punta Cana during the final minutes of the descent, particularly if landing on Runway 08.
