ATL → AGS
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Augusta Regional At Bush Field (Bush Field)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic views, including the Atlanta skyline during departure and the world-famous Augusta National Golf Club on the descent.
Atlanta Skyline
Panoramic views of the Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from ATL.
Stone Mountain
The massive quartz monadnock is often visible to the northeast during the initial climb phase.
Lake Oconee
A large, winding reservoir featuring luxury lakeside developments and scenic shorelines.
Augusta National Golf Club
The legendary home of the Masters Tournament, identifiable by its pristine green fairways just north of the city.
Savannah River
The winding river that forms the state border between Georgia and South Carolina.
Sit on the left for the best photographic opportunities of Atlanta's urban sprawl. For the best view of the golf course, look out the window about 5-8 minutes before touchdown when the plane begins its final approach pattern. Morning flights provide excellent soft lighting for the Piedmont landscape.
ATL Terminal View
A great perspective of the world's busiest airport's runways and concourses during the climb.
Oconee National Forest
Vast expanses of deep green loblolly pines typical of the Georgia Piedmont region.
Lake Sinclair
Views of the southern portion of the Oconee river basin and recreational boating areas.
Augusta Industrial District
A look at the manufacturing and brick-making facilities that define Augusta's historic riverfront industry.
The right side is generally better for seeing the ground operations at ATL. To avoid heavy sun glare, choose the right side for late afternoon or evening flights. This side offers a more peaceful view of Georgia's dense forests and rural landscapes compared to the urban focus of the left.
