Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Jeddah to Toronto. Left side wins both ends of the flight — the Red Sea and Jeddah on departure, and Toronto's skyline and Lake Ontario on arrival. Over the mid-flight cruise the left side also faces slightly more toward the Mediterranean and southern Europe during the northwesterly routing.

During takeoff from King Abdulaziz International (JED), sit on the Left side for the best views. King Abdulaziz International primarily uses runways oriented roughly north-south. Departures heading northwest toward Europe will bank left, giving the left side a clear view over central Jeddah, the Red Sea coastline, and the historic Al-Balad district. The right side faces inland desert almost immediately. Notable sights include: Red Sea coastline and reef patterns, Al-Balad historic district grid, Jeddah Corniche waterfront strip, shallow turquoise reef waters visible through clear Red Sea.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Pearson's most common landing configuration uses runways 05/23 or 06L/24R. Arrivals from the east or northeast on final approach give the left side a view over downtown Toronto's skyline, Lake Ontario, and the Toronto Islands. The right side faces the suburban sprawl of Mississauga and Brampton with little visual interest. Notable sights include: Downtown Toronto skyline including CN Tower, Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto Islands and Billy Bishop Airport, Humber Bay and waterfront.

The flight from King Abdulaziz International (JED) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 13 to 14 hours.

The route typically tracks northwest over the Red Sea, across Egypt and the Nile Delta, over the eastern Mediterranean, across southern or central Europe (Greece, Italy or the Balkans, then the Alps), over France or Germany, across the North Atlantic via the UK or Ireland, then over Newfoundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and southern Ontario. Notable features include the Nile Delta visible from altitude, the Alps as a broad snow-covered mountain band across central Europe, the British Isles coastline, and the Canadian Shield's lake-dotted boreal forest on descent into Toronto.
