ATLDAL

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is slightly favored for its superior views of the Mississippi River's dramatic oxbow curves and the potential for a stunning panoramic view of the Dallas skyline during the final approach into Love Field.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏞️

Lake Allatoona

A large, sprawling reservoir northwest of Atlanta that offers beautiful blue reflections against the forest.

🏈

Tuscaloosa

Clear views of the University of Alabama campus and the massive Bryant-Denny Stadium.

🛶

Mississippi Meanders

Spectacular aerial views of the river's winding 'S' curves and natural levees near the Arkansas border.

🎰

Shreveport Waterfront

The cluster of casino resorts and bridges spanning the Red River in northern Louisiana.

🏙️

Dallas Skyline

Iconic views of the Reunion Tower and downtown Dallas skyscrapers during the final descent into Love Field.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the landscape to the north. It offers the most dramatic view of the Dallas skyline when the aircraft enters the traffic pattern for Runway 13.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Atlanta City Center

Aerial perspective of downtown Atlanta, including the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the CNN Center shortly after takeoff.

🛣️

I-20 Corridor

Follow the major interstate highway as it cuts a straight path through the rolling hills of the Deep South.

Select the left side for morning departures to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the most consistent views of the metropolitan centers of the Deep South during the initial and mid-flight phases.
