ATL → BQK
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (Brunswick)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the intricate Georgia marshlands and the winding Altamaha River delta as you descend into the Golden Isles.
Hartsfield-Jackson
Aerial view of the massive runway complexes and terminals during departure.
Ocmulgee River
The winding path of the Ocmulgee cutting through the rural heartland of Georgia.
Altamaha Sound
Spectacular views of the massive river delta and preserved marshlands on final approach.
St. Simons Island
Bird's eye view of the historic lighthouse and coastal beaches if the flight patterns south.
Best for sunset flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the golden light hit the marshes. Keep your camera ready for the transition from the pine barrens to the tidal creeks in the final 10 minutes.
Atlanta Suburbs
Dense leafy canopy of the 'city in a forest' during the initial climb.
Oconee National Forest
Expansive pine forests and rolling hills of central Georgia visible at cruise altitude.
Coastal Estuaries
Glimpses of the Atlantic coastline and inland waterways near the Brunswick port.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Atlantic as you approach the coast. Look for the distinct change from red clay to sandy coastal soil about 30 minutes into the flight.
