About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Ben Gurion (TLV) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tel-aviv to Toronto. While takeoff offers dramatic Mediterranean and Judean Hill views on the right, the landing approach over Lake Ontario and Toronto's waterfront on the left provides more sustained and visually impressive scenery. The lake crossing and urban approach are more visually rewarding than the 8+ hours of mid-Atlantic ocean.
