Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Montego Bay. Left side wins overall. The Toronto departure view of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario is one of the best urban departure views in Canada. During the flight south, left side also keeps you oriented toward the western Caribbean coastline on descent. The landing view is a closer call, but the departure spectacle tips it to the left.

During takeoff from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Pearson's dominant runway 23 departure takes you southeast over the city. Left side gives you the Toronto downtown skyline including the CN Tower, Lake Ontario shoreline, and the western Toronto waterfront. Right side faces northwest toward suburban sprawl with little of interest. Notable sights include: CN Tower and downtown Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario shoreline and Toronto Islands, Hamilton Harbour and the Niagara Escarpment to the southwest, Mississauga city grid below.

When landing at Sangster International (MBJ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Sangster International's primary runway 07 approach comes in from the west over the Caribbean Sea, landing eastward. Right side faces south over the open Caribbean, but the left side faces north toward the Cockpit Country interior. However, on the more common runway 25 departure/arrival from the east, right side gives you the Montego Bay harbor and the north coast. On the typical westward landing approach on runway 25, right side faces north with Montego Bay town and the turquoise coastal shelf clearly visible. Notable sights include: Montego Bay harbor and town waterfront, turquoise Caribbean coastal shelf and reef line, the Blue Mountains visible to the east on clear days, the green karst hills of Cockpit Country inland.

The flight from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) to Sangster International (MBJ) takes Approximately 4 hours to 4 hours 30 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast over Lake Ontario briefly, then crosses into upstate New York and Pennsylvania, passing over the Appalachian Mountains as a broad corrugated ridge system visible from altitude. The route then crosses over the Carolinas and Georgia before reaching the Florida peninsula. South of Florida, the shallow turquoise waters of the Bahamas Banks are strikingly visible, with the dark blue tongue of the ocean cutting between the island chains. Cuba's northern coastline may be visible depending on exact routing, before the final approach over the deep blue Caribbean to Jamaica's north coast.
