YYZ → YMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Fort McMurray Airport (Fort Mcmurray)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the Great Lakes' rugged shorelines and the transition from the industrial Great Lakes region to the vast, geometric patterns of the Canadian Prairies, topped with spectacular sunset views on afternoon departures.

Georgian Bay & Lake Huron
Shortly after takeoff, witness the turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the eastern shores of Lake Huron.
Lake Superior North Shore
Aerial views of the rugged Canadian Shield and the vast expanse of the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area.
Prairie Patchwork
As you enter Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the landscape transforms into a stunning multi-colored grid of agricultural fields.
Evening Glow
On late-day flights, the westward-facing windows provide a front-row seat to long shadows and vibrant sunset colors over the horizon.
Book an afternoon flight to catch the sun setting over the prairies. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the changing topography from forest to farmland isn't obstructed. In winter, the frozen Great Lakes create fascinating ice patterns visible from this side.

Lake Simcoe
An early highlight just north of Toronto, often dotted with boats in summer or ice fishing huts in winter.
Lake Winnipeg
Pass over the northern reaches of this massive, shallow lake, known for its distinct greenish hue and remote islands.
Shield Lake Mosaic
Thousands of small, unnamed lakes sparkle like diamonds across the rocky terrain of Northern Ontario and Manitoba.
Aurora Borealis
On night flights during periods of high solar activity, this north-facing side offers the best chance to spot the Northern Lights.
For night travelers, keep your window shade open and cabin lights off to increase your chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis as you approach the subarctic latitudes. During the day, watch for the shift from the dense forests of Ontario to the more sparse muskeg of the Athabasca region.
