Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Southwest Florida International Airport (Fort Myers)?

Toronto Skyline
Dramatic views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shoreline immediately following departure from YYZ.
Niagara Falls
A breathtaking aerial perspective of the Horseshoe and American Falls as the plane crosses the US-Canada border.
Appalachian Ridges
The distinct parallel 'wave' formations of the Appalachian Mountains through Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Orlando Theme Parks
Views of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios as the flight path passes through Central Florida.
Florida Everglades
The vast, shimmering wetlands and intricate water canals of South-Central Florida during the final approach.
For morning flights, the sun will be on the left side, which can cause glare; however, the visibility of Niagara Falls makes it worth the trade-off. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Falls, which usually appears 10-15 minutes into the flight.

Lake Erie Shoreline
Sweeping views of the northern Ohio coastline and the industrial ports of the Great Lakes.
Allegheny Plateau
The rugged, heavily forested, and deeply dissected plateau regions of West Virginia.
Piedmont Region
The rolling red-clay hills and dense pine forests of the Carolinas and Georgia.
Gulf Coast Beaches
Stunning views of the white-sand barrier islands near Sarasota and Venice as the plane maneuvers for RSW.
Gulf Sunset
On late afternoon flights, the right side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico.
Choose the right side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Gulf. This side is also generally better for viewing the rugged, less-populated wilderness of the Appalachian interior. During landing at RSW, the right side often offers a better view of the Florida coastline if the plane approaches from the north.
