Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Toronto to Charlottetown. The left side wins overall. While the right side has a slight edge at takeoff for Lake Ontario views, the left side captures the Gulf of St. Lawrence coastline of Quebec and New Brunswick as the flight tracks northeast, and delivers the superior landing view of Charlottetown Harbour and the Northumberland Strait.

During takeoff from Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Right side for the best views. YYZ departures heading east typically use runways 05 or 06L/R, putting the right side facing north toward Lake Simcoe and the Oak Ridges Moraine. As the aircraft climbs and banks eastward, the right side gets a clear view of the Toronto urban grid and Lake Ontario's northern shore receding behind you. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto downtown skyline, Lake Simcoe to the north, Oak Ridges Moraine.

When landing at Charlottetown (YYG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Charlottetown Airport runway 10 is the primary arrival heading from the west, meaning the aircraft approaches from the west-southwest over the red-soiled farmland of PEI. The left side faces north toward Charlottetown Harbour and the Northumberland Strait, giving a clear view of the city, the Confederation Bridge in the far distance to the southwest, and the distinctive red clay coastline. Notable sights include: Charlottetown Harbour, Northumberland Strait, PEI red clay farmland, Confederation Bridge (distant, southwest).
