Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Boston to Toronto. The right side delivers the dramatic Boston Harbor departure view which is one of the best urban water departures on the East Coast. The landing view at YKZ is good on the left, but the takeoff spectacle from the right edges it out for the overall recommendation. On a short flight like this, the takeoff view matters more since cruise altitude is brief.

During takeoff from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Logan's most common departure on Runway 22L/22R heads southwest, putting Boston Harbor and the downtown skyline on the right side. You get a clear view of the harbor islands, the Financial District, and Back Bay as the aircraft climbs out over the water. Notable sights include: Boston Harbor and Harbor Islands, Downtown Boston skyline and Financial District, Back Bay and the Charles River basin, Logan Airport itself receding below.

When landing at Buttonville Muni (YKZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Buttonville (YKZ) sits north of Toronto, and approaches typically come in from the east or southeast on Runway 33. On left side you get a clear view of Lake Ontario's north shore, the Toronto skyline including the CN Tower, and the urban sprawl of the GTA spreading northward beneath you. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario and Toronto waterfront, CN Tower and downtown Toronto skyline, Don Valley and ravine system, Markham and Richmond Hill suburban grid.

The flight from General Edward Lawrence Logan International (BOS) to Buttonville Muni (YKZ) takes Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes in a light aircraft; closer to 55 minutes in a faster turboprop.

The route crosses southern New Hampshire and Vermont briefly before entering Quebec airspace near Sherbrooke, then descends into Ontario. You pass over the Green Mountains of Vermont as low rolling ridgelines, the St. Lawrence River lowlands near the Quebec-Ontario border, and the flat agricultural plain of eastern Ontario before the Toronto metro area comes into view.
