Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Delhi to Toronto. While the right side wins at takeoff for Delhi city views, the left side delivers the more dramatic payoff: over Afghanistan and eastern Iran you get rugged mountain terrain, and the Toronto approach with the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shoreline is one of the more visually rewarding urban arrivals in North America. Left side edges it overall.

During takeoff from Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Delhi's primary departure runway 28/29 sends aircraft westward, so the right (north) side gives you a clear view back over central Delhi including Connaught Place, India Gate corridor, and the dense urban grid of Old Delhi. The left side faces south toward the less distinctive southern suburbs. Notable sights include: India Gate and Rajpath corridor, Old Delhi's dense urban fabric and Red Fort area, Yamuna River snaking northeast, Connaught Place circular road pattern.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Pearson's most common arrival is runway 06L/06R from the southwest, meaning aircraft approach from over Lake Ontario's western end. The left (south) side looks directly over the lake and gives you the Toronto skyline head-on as you descend, with the CN Tower clearly visible. The right side faces north toward flat suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Toronto skyline and CN Tower, western end of Lake Ontario, Mississauga suburban grid below the approach path, Hamilton and Burlington Bay visible to the southwest.

The flight from Indira Gandhi International (DEL) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 14 to 15.5 hours depending on routing and winds.

The route typically tracks northwest over Pakistan and Afghanistan, crossing the Hindu Kush and Pamir ranges (visible as dramatic high-altitude terrain), then over Central Asia and the Caspian Sea region, across Russia and Siberia's boreal forest taiga, over the Arctic or sub-Arctic depending on polar routing, then descending over Hudson Bay or the Canadian Shield's lake-dotted granite terrain before crossing into southern Ontario
