Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Winnipeg. While takeoff offers Lake Ontario views on the right, the landing approach provides more dramatic and sustained scenery. Left-side seats capture the Red River valley, Winnipeg's urban geography, and the prairie landscape during descent—the most visually engaging portion of this westbound flight.

During takeoff from City Centre (YTZ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Lake Ontario immediately after departure from Toronto City Centre. The aircraft climbs westward over the lake before turning northwest toward Winnipeg, giving right-side passengers a clear view of the shoreline, Toronto Islands, and the broader lake expanse during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario, Toronto Islands, Scarborough Bluffs, Greater Toronto Area urban sprawl.

When landing at Winnipeg St Andrews (YAV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Red River and Winnipeg's urban layout during descent into St Andrews. The approach typically brings the aircraft in from the southeast, making the left side ideal for viewing the river valley, downtown Winnipeg, and the surrounding prairie landscape as the aircraft descends toward the runway. Notable sights include: Red River, Winnipeg downtown core, Assiniboine River confluence, prairie landscape.

The flight from City Centre (YTZ) to Winnipeg St Andrews (YAV) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Ontario-Manitoba border over relatively flat terrain with scattered lakes and boreal forest. Notable features include the transition from the Canadian Shield's rocky, forested landscape near Ontario to the increasingly flat prairie as the aircraft approaches Winnipeg. Lake Winnipeg lies to the northeast of the direct flight path but may be visible on clear days from higher altitudes. The landscape gradually transitions from mixed forest to open grassland prairie over the final 200 miles of the approach.
