Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Puerto Vallarta to Toronto. Right-side seats deliver superior scenery for both segments: the Sierra Madre climb-out and the Lake Ontario descent. The right side captures the most dramatic terrain transitions on this route.

During takeoff from Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International (PVR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Sierra Madre Occidental as the aircraft climbs northeastward from Puerto Vallarta. The mountain range rises dramatically inland and remains visible for the first 15-20 minutes of flight, providing striking relief against the Pacific backdrop. Notable sights include: Sierra Madre Occidental (inland, rising to 9,000+ ft), Banderas Bay (immediate offshore waters), Pacific coastline south toward Cabo Corrientes, Nayarit coastal plain.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats provide views of Lake Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area's urban sprawl during the descent into YYZ. The lake's massive expanse and the city's distinctive grid pattern are visible from 15,000+ feet, offering a clear sense of arrival into Canada's largest metropolitan area. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario (dominant water body), Greater Toronto Area urban grid, Niagara Escarpment (distant southern horizon), Toronto Islands and harbor.

The flight from Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International (PVR) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Sierra Madre Occidental, then tracks northeast over the Mexican plateau (Durango and Zacatecas states), continues across the US interior (Texas panhandle, Oklahoma, Kansas), and approaches the Great Lakes region. Notable midpoint features include the high desert plateau of northern Mexico (visible around 2.5 hours into flight), the Rio Grande valley (if visible during daylight), and the transition into the North American interior plains. The approach to Toronto crosses the eastern Great Lakes region, with Lake Erie visible before Lake Ontario becomes dominant during final descent.
