Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Fredericton Airport (Fredericton)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic views of the Toronto skyline upon departure and superior lighting for observing the St. Lawrence River valley and the winding Saint John River without sun glare.
Toronto Skyline
Spectacular views of the CN Tower and the downtown core if departing from runways 05 or 06L/R.
St. Lawrence River
Aerial perspective of the massive river valley as the flight paths north of Montreal.
Monteregian Hills
Unique igneous hills rising abruptly from the flat St. Lawrence Lowlands in Quebec.
Saint John River Valley
The 'Rhine of North America' becomes visible during descent, showing the lush riverbanks of New Brunswick.
Acadian Forest
Dense, mosaic-like patterns of evergreen and deciduous forests typical of the Maritimes.
For morning flights, sit on the left to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the fall (late September to mid-October), this side provides an incredible vantage point for the vibrant red and orange foliage of the Saint John River valley during your final approach into YFC.
Lake Ontario
Expansive blue horizons and views of the Niagara Escarpment on the far southern shore.
Adirondack Mountains
On clear days, the distant high peaks of Upstate New York are visible across the US border.
Maine North Woods
Vast stretches of uninhabited wilderness and remote logging roads in the northern US.
Bay of Fundy
A distant glimpse of the water known for the world's highest tides just before landing.
The right side is best for sunset flights, offering a beautiful glow over the Appalachian foothills. However, be prepared for significant glare during midday flights as the sun remains to the south.
