Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Sudbury Airport (Sudbury)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior perspective of the Muskoka cottage country and the unique geological features of the Canadian Shield.
Toronto Skyline
A distant but clear view of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shortly after departure.
Lake Simcoe
Direct overflight of the popular recreational waters of Cook's Bay and Kempenfelt Bay.
The Muskokas
The quintessential Ontario landscape of granite rocks, pine trees, and luxury lakefront cottages.
Wanapitei Crater
A large, nearly circular lake formed by a meteorite impact, located adjacent to the airport.
The right side offers the best natural scenery. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, highlighting the vibrant colors of the forest, especially during the fall foliage peak in late September.
Greater Toronto Area
Dense urban grids of Vaughan and Brampton during the initial climb out of Pearson.
Georgian Bay Horizon
The vast blue expanse of the eastern reaches of Lake Huron visible to the west.
Mining Infrastructure
Dramatic views of the Copper Cliff smelter and the industrial footprint of Sudbury's mining heritage.
Lake Ramsey
One of the largest lakes in the world contained within a single city's boundaries.
This side is best for viewing the industrial heart of Sudbury during the descent. Choose an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the northern lakes to the west.
