Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Miami. The right side wins overall because the Miami arrival view over Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach is one of the most visually spectacular urban coastal approaches in North America. The takeoff views from either side at YYZ are good but comparable — the right side also catches Lake Ontario during the southward turn, making it competitive throughout the flight.

During takeoff from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. YYZ's most common departures are on runways 05/06R heading northeast, then turning south. A left-side seat gives you the downtown Toronto skyline including the CN Tower and Lake Ontario's northern shoreline as you climb out and bank southward. The city grid and waterfront are clearly laid out below. Notable sights include: CN Tower and downtown Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto Islands, Hamilton Harbour to the west.

When landing at Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. MIA's most common arrivals from the north use runway 09 or 12, approaching from the northwest over the Everglades. A right-side seat gives you the Miami Beach barrier island, Biscayne Bay, and the downtown Miami skyline as you descend over the city. The contrast between the turquoise bay and the urban grid is striking on approach. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach barrier island and Art Deco district, downtown Miami skyline, Port of Miami cruise terminals.

The flight from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) to Miami International (MIA) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight tracks south-southwest over western Pennsylvania and the Appalachian ridges, then over the Carolinas. Passengers can see the Blue Ridge Mountains as a series of parallel northeast-southwest ridgelines over Virginia and North Carolina. Further south, the flat coastal plain of South Carolina and Georgia is visible, with the broad Cape Fear and Savannah river systems cutting through. Over Florida, the flat terrain and numerous lakes of central Florida are visible before the urban sprawl of the Miami metro comes into view.
