About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) to Mohammed V (CMN)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Casablanca. The left side delivers the superior Toronto departure experience — CN Tower, the harbour, and Lake Ontario are genuinely spectacular on climb-out. The landing view on the right is good but the Casablanca approach over flat agricultural plain is less dramatic. Left side also tracks the Atlantic coastline of Portugal and Spain during descent into Morocco, offering glimpses of the Iberian Peninsula.

What can I see during takeoff from Lester B Pearson International in Toronto?

During takeoff from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. YYZ typically departs eastward on runways 05/06 or westward on 23/24/33. On the dominant eastbound departure (Runway 06L/06R), a left-side seat gives you a clear view south over downtown Toronto, Lake Ontario, and the Toronto Islands. On westbound departures, left side still captures the city core as you bank south toward the Atlantic routing. Notable sights include: Downtown Toronto skyline with CN Tower, Toronto Islands and Billy Bishop Airport, Lake Ontario shoreline, Hamilton Harbour to the southwest.

What can I see when landing at Mohammed V in Casablanca?

When landing at Mohammed V (CMN), sit on the Right side for the best views. CMN sits southeast of Casablanca and aircraft typically approach from the northeast on runway 35L/35R or from the north. On the standard northerly approach, right-side seats face west toward Casablanca's Atlantic coastline, the Hassan II Mosque on the waterfront, and the city's urban sprawl meeting the ocean — the most visually compelling view on arrival. Notable sights include: Casablanca Atlantic coastline, Hassan II Mosque on the waterfront promontory, Casablanca city grid and port, agricultural patchwork of the Chaouia plain.

How long is the flight from Toronto to Casablanca?

What does the Toronto to Casablanca flight path pass over?

After crossing Lake Ontario the route tracks southeast over upstate New York and New England before heading out over the North Atlantic near Nova Scotia. The mid-Atlantic crossing is largely featureless ocean. The Azores archipelago may be visible far to the south depending on routing. The flight crosses the Portuguese coast near Lisbon, then tracks south over the Alentejo plains and the Algarve before crossing the Strait of Gibraltar — where the Rock of Gibraltar and the Moroccan Rif Mountains are briefly visible — then descending over the Atlantic coastal plain of Morocco toward Casablanca.
