ATL → BTV
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Burlington International Airport (Burlington)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a high-probability view of the New York City skyline and the Hudson River, followed by an intimate look at Vermont's Green Mountains during the descent into Burlington.
Manhattan Skyline
A distant but unmistakable view of One World Trade Center and the Midtown skyline on clear weather days.
Hudson River
Visual tracking of the historic river as it snakes north through the West Point and Catskill regions.
Green Mountains
A close-up look at Vermont's iconic mountain range including Camel's Hump and Mount Mansfield peaks.
Philly and D.C.
The sprawling urban landscapes of the I-95 corridor are often visible to the east during the mid-flight cruise.
Champlain Valley
The picturesque patchwork of Vermont dairy farms and rural landscapes during the final approach to BTV.
Book the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be on the left. During morning flights, this side provides the best lighting for the Green Mountains to the east. Keep your camera ready approximately 60 to 70 minutes after takeoff for the New York City flyby as the aircraft enters the Northeast corridor.
Atlanta Skyline
Clear views of the downtown skyscrapers and Mercedes-Benz Stadium shortly after departure from ATL.
Adirondack Mountains
The vast, rugged wilderness of northern New York state featuring high peaks and dense alpine forests.
Lake Champlain
Stunning vistas of the 120-mile-long lake and its many islands as the flight enters the Champlain Valley.
Sunset Horizons
On evening flights, this side offers dramatic sunset colors over the western Appalachian mountain ranges.
For the most dramatic view of Lake Champlain's islands and the Adirondack high peaks, secure a seat on the left. This side is particularly scenic during peak foliage in early October when the New York forests turn vibrant shades of red and gold. Avoid seats directly over the wing to maintain an unobstructed view of the lake surface during the final descent.
