ATL → HPN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Westchester County Airport (White Plains)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River valley during the final descent into Westchester.
Atlanta Cityscape
Clear views of the downtown and Midtown Atlanta skylines shortly after takeoff.
Appalachian Mountains
The rolling ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains are visible during the early cruise phase.
Shenandoah Valley
Beautiful views of the lush Virginia valley and the winding Potomac River.
Manhattan Skyline
An iconic view of Central Park and the New York City skyscrapers during the approach.
George Washington Bridge
The massive bridge crossing the Hudson River is often visible just before landing.
Book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For evening flights, the sunset over the Appalachian range is stunning, followed by the sparkling lights of Manhattan. If the flight approaches HPN from the south, the left side is essential for the best NYC views.
Stone Mountain
The massive granite monadnock east of Atlanta is often visible if the departure path turns east.
Chesapeake Bay
Vast views of the Mid-Atlantic coastline and the intricate waterways of Maryland.
Washington D.C.
Distant views of the National Mall and the Potomac River basin.
Long Island Sound
The sparkling waters separating Long Island from the Connecticut coastline during the final turn.
Westchester Estates
Lush greenery and historic suburban estates as the plane nears White Plains.
The right side is generally better for avoiding the direct glare of the afternoon sun when flying northeast. Keep an eye out for Stone Mountain immediately after departure from ATL, and watch for the reflection of the sun on the Chesapeake Bay during the mid-flight cruise.
