ATL → CLE
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (Cleveland)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the Appalachian foothills and the lush canopy of the Daniel Boone National Forest, providing a more diverse and rugged landscape throughout the flight north.
Stone Mountain
The world's largest piece of exposed granite is often visible to the east immediately after takeoff from ATL.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Stunning vistas of the rolling blue-hued ridges that define the southern Appalachian range.
Daniel Boone National Forest
A vast expanse of protected Kentucky wilderness that looks like an endless green carpet from above.
Akron Landscape
The historic industrial city and its surrounding lakes appear as the aircraft begins its descent into CLE.
Lake Erie Coastline
As the plane banks for its final approach, the vast horizon of Lake Erie becomes visible to the north.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. As you approach Cleveland, look for the 'Emerald Necklace' of parks that surround the city, which are particularly vibrant during the autumn leaf-peeping season.
Kennesaw Mountain
A significant historical and geological landmark visible shortly after departing the Atlanta area.
Lake Allatoona
A massive reservoir in North Georgia that glows beautifully under the midday sun.
Cumberland Plateau
Observe the transition from the flatlands to the rugged, elevated terrain of eastern Tennessee.
Columbus Skyline
On clear days, the urban center of Ohio's capital city is visible during the cruise phase.
Cleveland Suburbs
Detailed views of the suburban sprawl and the Cuyahoga River valley during the final descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Midwest. Keep an eye out for the Scioto River as you cross into central Ohio, which serves as a great navigational landmark.
