Sleeping Giant & Thunder Bay
The massive Sibley Peninsula rock formation resembling a reclining giant is a primary landmark visible roughly halfway through the flight.
Lake of the Woods
A stunning mosaic of over 14,000 islands and intricate channels near the Ontario-Manitoba border.
Winnipeg Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'Gateway to the West' and the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.
Qu'Appelle Valley
As you descend into Regina, look for the deep, winding valley that cuts through the flat prairie landscape.
Boreal Forest Canopy
Hours of unbroken dark green wilderness dotted with thousands of unnamed glacial lakes across Northern Ontario.
The right side is ideal for photography as it faces away from the direct sun on westbound afternoon flights. Look for the transition from the rocky, lake-filled Shield to the flat Prairies near the MB/SK border. Winter flights offer incredible views of frozen lake patterns across the Shield.

Georgian Bay & Bruce Peninsula
Clear views of the turquoise waters and the rugged limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment shortly after takeoff.
Lake Huron & Manitoulin Island
The flight path often passes over the world's largest freshwater island, showing its unique inland lakes.
Southern Prairie Grid
A mesmerizing view of the perfectly square agricultural township grid system as you enter Saskatchewan airspace.
Lake Superior South Shore
Expansive views of the deepest Great Lake, often showing the distant shoreline of Upper Michigan on clear days.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Great Lakes' vastness. For evening flights (YYZ-YQR), this side will face the setting sun, which provides dramatic colors but can be quite bright. Use the window shade strategically during the mid-flight cruise to avoid glare.
