YYZ → UVF
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Hewanorra International Airport (Hewandorra)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the turquoise waters of the Bahamas and provides the iconic view of Saint Lucia's Pitons during the final approach into Vieux Fort.
Niagara Falls
Depending on the departure path, the falls are often visible in the distance shortly after takeoff.
The Bahamas
Vibrant turquoise waters and white sand cays of the Exumas and Eleuthera are visible mid-flight.
Turks and Caicos
Exceptional views of the shallow Caicos Bank and the dramatic 'wall' where the ocean floor drops.
The Pitons
Unrivaled views of Saint Lucia's iconic twin volcanic peaks during the descent into UVF.
The Bahamas crossing occurs approximately 3 to 3.5 hours into the flight; look out for the distinct change in water color. For the approach into Saint Lucia, sit forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't obstruct your view of the Pitons. This side is also generally shaded during morning departures from Toronto, providing better photo conditions.
Toronto Skyline
Clear views of the CN Tower and downtown Toronto immediately after departure from YYZ.
Lake Ontario
A full crossing of the lake providing deep blue vistas before entering US airspace.
The Outer Banks
Potential views of the thin barrier islands of North Carolina as the flight moves over the Atlantic.
Windward Islands
Distant views of the rugged Atlantic coastlines of Antigua and Guadeloupe during the descent.
Early morning flights will have the sun on the left side, which can cause glare and heat. Choose this side if you prefer seeing the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Ensure your window is clean to capture the high-contrast shoreline of the Lesser Antilles during the final hour of flight.
