Sarnia's Chemical Valley
An impressive, sprawling industrial complex of refineries and pipelines along the St. Clair River immediately after departure.
London Urban Core
A clear view of the 'Forest City', featuring the Thames River and the cluster of high-rises in downtown London.
Toronto Skyline
On the standard approach to runways 05 or 06L, the CN Tower and Lake Ontario are often visible in the distance.
Mississauga City Centre
Direct views of the unique 'Marilyn Monroe' twisting towers and the Square One area just minutes before touchdown.
This is the 'urban side.' To maximize the view of the CN Tower, choose a seat behind the wing. Evening flights are particularly scenic as the lights of the Golden Horseshoe and the industrial flares of Sarnia create a vibrant nightscape.

Lake Huron Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and white sands of Ipperwash Beach and Pinery Provincial Park shortly after takeoff.
Agricultural Heartland
A vast, geometric patchwork of Southern Ontario's most productive farmlands and woodlots stretching toward the horizon.
GTA Suburbs
The dense residential sprawls of Brampton and Vaughan become visible as the flight transitions from rural to urban airspace.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the distinct blue-green hues of Lake Huron in the first 10 minutes of the flight. This side is quieter for those preferring pastoral landscapes over urban density.
