ATL → EWN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (New Bern)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the iconic Stone Mountain shortly after takeoff from Atlanta and a better perspective of the rolling Piedmont landscape during the transition toward the coast.
Atlanta Skyline
Clear views of the Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers during the initial climb out of Hartsfield-Jackson.
Stone Mountain
The world's largest piece of exposed granite is a prominent landmark visible shortly after departure from the north-facing windows.
Lake Lanier
A massive reservoir that defines the northern Georgia landscape, providing a sharp contrast of blue against green forests.
Uwharrie National Forest
Aerial views of the ancient, low-lying mountains and dense woodlands of central North Carolina.
Piedmont Farmlands
The patchwork of red clay fields and timber tracts typical of the transition between the mountains and the coast.
Book a window seat on the left to capture Stone Mountain within the first 10 minutes of flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the landmarks and reducing glare on the window.
I-20 Corridor
The main arterial highway connecting Atlanta to the east, visible as it snakes through the Georgia pines.
Coastal Plain Transition
Watch the landscape flatten and the soil turn sandy as the flight moves into eastern North Carolina.
Neuse River Estuary
Stunning views of the wide, winding river as the aircraft begins its final descent into New Bern.
Historic New Bern
Bird's-eye view of the confluence of the Neuse and Trent Rivers and the historic waterfront district.
The right side is best during late afternoon flights for a warm glow over the Carolina coastal plains. This side provides an excellent view of the water bodies surrounding New Bern during the final approach.
