Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Madras to Toronto. The right side captures the most dramatic scenery at both ends: the Bay of Bengal and Chennai coastline during departure, and the approach over Lake Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area during arrival. The left side offers good views on descent but less compelling scenery during the initial climb.

During takeoff from Chennai International (MAA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Cooum River estuary and the Bay of Bengal coastline as the aircraft climbs northwestward from Chennai. The contrast between the urban sprawl of Chennai and the open water creates strong visual interest during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Bay of Bengal coastline, Cooum River estuary, Chennai urban grid, Pulicat Lake to the north.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Canadian Shield landscape, the Great Lakes system, and the approach over Lake Ontario into Toronto. As the aircraft descends from the northwest, passengers see the transition from boreal forest to the urban corridor of the Greater Toronto Area. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario, Niagara Escarpment, Greater Toronto Area urban sprawl, Canadian Shield forest.

The flight from Chennai International (MAA) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 16.5 to 17.5 hours (including one stop, typically in Europe or Middle East).

This route typically transits the Arabian Sea, crosses the Arabian Peninsula or Middle East (depending on routing), passes over the Mediterranean or Black Sea region, crosses Central Europe (possibly the Alps or Carpathians), and then proceeds over the Atlantic toward North America. Key visible features along the path include the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, the Caucasus Mountains (if routed north), the Alps, and the Atlantic coastline of Europe before crossing the ocean.
