Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Edmonton. The left side captures the dramatic Toronto lakefront and city views on departure, and across the prairies the left side tracks slightly more northerly terrain. The departure views over Lake Ontario and downtown Toronto are the most visually distinctive moments of this otherwise flat prairie crossing.

During takeoff from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing west on runway 23 or 24L/24R, the left side gives you a clear view south over downtown Toronto, Lake Ontario, and the Toronto Islands. You can track the CN Tower and the city grid as you climb out over the lake. Notable sights include: CN Tower and downtown Toronto skyline, Toronto Islands and Billy Bishop Airport, Lake Ontario shoreline, Mississauga suburban grid.

When landing at Edmonton Namao (YED), sit on the Right side for the best views. Edmonton Namao (YED) sits north of the city, and aircraft typically approach from the south or southeast. A right-side seat gives you a view over the North Saskatchewan River valley cutting through Edmonton, and the city's downtown core as you descend. Notable sights include: North Saskatchewan River valley, Edmonton downtown skyline, Refinery Row industrial complex to the east, flat Alberta prairie grid.

The flight from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) to Edmonton Namao (YED) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes.

The flight crosses northern Lake Ontario briefly, then tracks over the Canadian Shield south of Georgian Bay before transitioning to the flat agricultural plains of southern Ontario near London. Over Manitoba and Saskatchewan the terrain is almost entirely flat prairie with section-line road grids, occasional river valleys like the Qu'Appelle, and large shallow lakes including Lake of the Woods visible to the north on some routings. The transition from boreal fringe to open prairie is visible around the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border.
