Toronto to Amsterdam flight path: YYZ to AMS

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Amsterdam. The great-circle track from Toronto to Amsterdam runs along a northern great-circle path that skirts close to Newfoundland, the Labrador Sea, and southern Greenland's coastal mountains before crossing toward Iceland and Scotland — all visible on the left, north-facing side during cruise. The right side over this same stretch is almost entirely open North Atlantic Ocean with no landmarks.

During takeoff from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing YYZ on a northeast heading, the right side offers a brief view of downtown Toronto's skyline and Lake Ontario's shoreline before the aircraft turns onto its transatlantic track. The left side over this segment shows only flat farmland and suburban sprawl north of the airport. Notable sights include: CN Tower and downtown Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto Islands.

When landing at Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Left side for the best views. On approach to AMS from the north, aircraft typically track south over the IJsselmeer before lining up with the Polderbaan or Zwanenburgbaan, putting Amsterdam's city center and canal rings on the left side. The right side mostly shows North Sea coastline dunes and flat polder farmland with fewer distinct landmarks. Notable sights include: IJsselmeer, Amsterdam canal ring and city center, Zaandam windmill area, polder farmland patterns.

The flight from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) to Schiphol (AMS) takes 7h 05m.

Labrador Sea, southern tip of Greenland's coastal mountains and ice sheet edge, open North Atlantic Ocean, approach toward Iceland's southern coast before the route bends toward Scotland and the North Sea
