Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rio De Janeiro to Toronto. Right side captures the most dramatic scenery at both ends: Guanabara Bay and Sugarloaf Mountain during departure, and Lake Ontario's expanse during arrival. The right side also offers better views during the long transatlantic and trans-continental crossing of the Atlantic and North American interior.

During takeoff from Santos Dumont (SDU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers immediate views of Guanabara Bay and the Atlantic coastline as the aircraft climbs out from Santos Dumont. The bay's distinctive shape and surrounding beaches are prominent within the first 10–15 minutes of flight. Notable sights include: Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar) to the southeast, Atlantic Ocean coastline, Rio de Janeiro city sprawl.

When landing at Buttonville Muni (YKZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of Lake Ontario and the Toronto waterfront as the aircraft descends toward Buttonville. The lake's expanse and the city's lakeside geography are distinctive on approach from the south. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario, Toronto waterfront and downtown skyline, Scarborough Bluffs (eastern shoreline), Toronto Islands.

The flight from Santos Dumont (SDU) to Buttonville Muni (YKZ) takes 9h 15m.

The flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean for approximately 4–5 hours with no significant landmarks visible over open water. Upon reaching North America, the aircraft passes over the eastern seaboard (Nova Scotia, New England coastline visible depending on routing), then inland over the Appalachian Mountains (visible as a north-south ridge system), and finally over the Great Lakes region before descending into Toronto. Right-side passengers may glimpse the Appalachian ridge system and the northern shore of Lake Ontario; left-side passengers see less dramatic terrain over the interior.
