Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Spokane to Toronto. While the takeoff offers pleasant plateau and mountain views, the landing approach into Toronto provides more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—Lake Ontario is a dominant feature, and the contrast between the massive freshwater lake and the sprawling metropolitan area creates stronger visual interest than the eastern Washington landscape.

During takeoff from Spokane International (GEG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Spokane River valley and the transition from the Columbia Plateau toward the Rocky Mountains. The climb-out heads generally northeast, positioning right-side passengers to see the terrain rising toward the Cascades and interior mountains. Notable sights include: Spokane River (visible winding through the city), Spokane urban area (distinctive grid pattern), Columbia Plateau (rolling terrain extending south and west), distant Cascade Range foothills (northeastern horizon).

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views during the descent approach into Toronto. The flight path typically brings aircraft in from the west or northwest, and left-side passengers will see Lake Ontario, the Greater Toronto Area sprawl, and the Niagara Escarpment as the aircraft descends toward Pearson. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario (massive freshwater body dominating the view), Greater Toronto Area urban sprawl (dense development), Niagara Escarpment (ridge visible southwest of the city), Toronto Islands (small landmasses in the lake near the airport).

The flight from Spokane International (GEG) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the northern Rocky Mountains (Montana/Idaho border region), including the Mission Mountains and Swan Range; then transitions over the Great Lakes region. Notable midpoint landmarks include Flathead Lake (Montana), the Continental Divide, and eventually the transition into the Great Lakes basin. The aircraft will pass over or near the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and cross Lake Huron or Lake Michigan before approaching Lake Ontario.
