ATL β†’ GSP

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic views of the Atlanta skyline during departure and the scenic foothills of the Appalachian Mountains on approach to the Upstate.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ™οΈ

Atlanta Skylines

Clear views of the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscraper clusters shortly after takeoff from ATL.

πŸͺ¨

Stone Mountain

A massive quartz monzonite dome that is one of the most recognizable geological features in Georgia.

β›΅

Lake Lanier

A sprawling reservoir with a complex, jagged shoreline visible to the north of the flight path.

πŸ”οΈ

Blue Ridge Mountains

The rolling blue-tinted peaks of the southern Appalachian chain visible on the horizon.

🌳

Paris Mountain

A prominent monadnock located just north of Greenville that stands out during the final descent.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Atlanta skyline and the mountain ridges to the north.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
πŸ›«

Hartsfield-Jackson Complex

A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest airport, including its five parallel runways and massive terminal layout.

πŸŽ“

Athens & UGA

On clear days, the campus of the University of Georgia and Sanford Stadium can be spotted to the southeast.

🌊

Lake Hartwell

A vast, multi-fingered lake marking the border between Georgia and South Carolina.

πŸš—

BMW Manufacturing Plant

The enormous white-roofed automotive facility located immediately adjacent to GSP airport.

πŸ—οΈ

Spartanburg Industrial Hub

Views of the growing industrial and logistics corridor that defines the Spartanburg area during approach.

The right side is excellent for spotting major water features like Lake Hartwell. As you land at GSP, keep your eyes peeled for the BMW plantβ€”it is one of the largest factories in the world and is unmistakable from the air.
