GTA Suburbs
Observe the organized sprawl of Brampton and Mississauga immediately after departing the runway.
Southwestern Farmlands
A patchwork quilt of Ontario's most fertile agricultural land, changing colors dramatically between seasons.
Lake Huron Coastline
As the plane descends, the deep blue of Lake Huron provides a sharp, beautiful contrast to the land.
Blue Water Bridge
Look for the twin spans of the bridge connecting Sarnia, Canada to Port Huron, USA over the St. Clair River.
St. Clair River
Spot Great Lakes freighters navigating the narrow waterway that marks the international border.
The right side is essential for the scenic descent into Sarnia. For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Blue Water Bridge. This side is particularly beautiful in autumn when the deciduous forests of southwestern Ontario change color.
