Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Atlanta skyline during departure and more direct vistas of the Chattahoochee River and Lake Walter F. George during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

A clear view of the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscrapers immediately after takeoff from ATL.

🏢

Columbus Metro

Aerial perspective of Georgia's second-largest city and the historic district along the river.

🌊

Walter F. George Lake

Also known as Lake Eufaula, this massive reservoir provides stunning blue water contrast against the green landscape.

🌲

Providence Canyon

Occasional distant views of the 'Little Grand Canyon' of Georgia near the Alabama border.

Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side is also ideal for seeing the Chattahoochee River which marks the state border for much of the flight path. Look for the white sandbars along the river banks south of Columbus.

Right Side Highlights

Wiregrass Farmland

Choose the right side for sunset flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Alabama countryside. As you approach Dothan, watch for the distinct circular patterns of center-pivot irrigation systems common in this agricultural hub.
