Left side faces open farmland to the northwest. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline, Fort Worth skyline to the west, Lake Lewisville to the northeast, Texas Motor Speedway oval visible near Fort Worth.

YYZ arrivals from the south typically use runways 05/06L/06R, meaning the aircraft approaches from the southwest over Lake Ontario. The left side gives a spectacular view of the Toronto skyline, the CN Tower, and the full expanse of Lake Ontario as you descend. The right side faces inland over suburban Mississauga with no comparable landmarks. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario, Toronto downtown skyline and CN Tower, Toronto Islands, Mississauga suburban sprawl.
