Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Munich to Toronto. Left side wins both ends of the flight — the Bavarian Alps on departure and the Lake Ontario and Toronto skyline on arrival. Over the Atlantic the views are similar on both sides, but the bookend scenery strongly favors the left seat throughout.

During takeoff from Munich (MUC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Munich airport sits north of the city, and departures heading west-northwest toward the Atlantic typically use runways oriented east-west. A left (south-facing) seat gives you a clear view of Munich city center and, beyond it, the Bavarian Alps stretching across the horizon. The Alps are unmistakable — a continuous wall of snow-capped peaks visible for many minutes after takeoff. Notable sights include: Munich city center and Marienplatz area, Bavarian Alps (including Zugspitze massif to the southwest), Ammersee and Starnberger See lakes south of the city, Isar River corridor.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Toronto Pearson's primary arrival runways from the east bring aircraft in from the northeast, meaning a left (south-facing) seat looks toward Lake Ontario and the Toronto downtown skyline including the CN Tower. This is one of the most recognizable urban waterfronts in North America and is visible for a long final approach. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto downtown skyline with CN Tower, Toronto Islands and Billy Bishop Airport, Hamilton and western Lake Ontario shore in the distance.

The flight from Munich (MUC) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 9 to 9.5 hours.

The route tracks northwest over southern Germany, crosses the Rhine near Strasbourg, passes over Belgium and the Netherlands coast, then crosses the North Sea and southern tip of Greenland or Iceland depending on the jet stream routing. Over Canada it crosses Newfoundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, and southern Ontario before descending into Toronto. The Greenland ice sheet and Labrador coastline are the most dramatic midpoint features, visible from both sides at cruise altitude.
