Bahias Dehuatulco to Toronto is 2,165 miles (3,484 km), a flight of about 5 hours 15 minutes.
While the Huatulco departure offers immediate coastal-mountain drama, the Toronto landing provides superior scenic value with Lake Ontario's vast expanse, the Toronto Islands, and the iconic downtown skyline. The right side captures more varied and recognizable landmarks across the full flight, and the landing approach is significantly more visually compelling than the departure. The left side's ocean-dominated cruise (5+ hours over open Atlantic and Great Lakes water) limits its overall score.
