Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft provides the most iconic views of the Georgia landscape, including the massive Lake Oconee and a stunning panoramic view of the Atlanta skyline and Stone Mountain during the approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Lake Oconee

The jagged, expansive shoreline of one of Georgia's most popular recreational reservoirs.

🌳

Oconee National Forest

A vast green carpet of protected woodlands stretching across the central Georgia Piedmont.

🪨

Stone Mountain

The world's largest exposed granite monzonite dome, located just east of the Atlanta city limits.

🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

Uninterrupted views of the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscraper clusters during the final approach.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Watch for Stone Mountain approximately 10-15 minutes before landing. In the morning, the lighting on the Atlanta skyline is perfect for photography as the sun illuminates the buildings from the east.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌲

Fort Eisenhower

Sprawling forested terrain and military training grounds visible shortly after departure from Augusta.

🛤️

Fall Line Hills

The geographic transition zone between the Piedmont plateau and the Atlantic coastal plain.

🏘️

South Atlanta Suburbs

A detailed view of the sprawling residential grids and cul-de-sacs of Henry and Clayton counties during descent.

This side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, as the flight path is primarily westward. It offers an excellent perspective of the airport's massive southern terminal complex during touchdown.
