Search flights from ATL to ICT
Memphis Skyline
Look for the distinct pyramid and urban center of Memphis as you approach the border of Tennessee and Arkansas.
Mississippi River
The most dramatic geographic marker of the flight, featuring the 'M' bridge and massive river barges near Memphis.
Ozark Plateau
View the rugged, densely forested hills of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, which are especially vibrant during autumn.
The Flint Hills
As you approach Wichita, look for the rolling, unplowed tallgrass prairie which offers a unique, wave-like texture to the earth.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 45 minutes into the flight for the Mississippi River crossing. If the flight path takes a northern loop, you may also see the White River winding through the Ozarks.

Birmingham Metro
Catch a glimpse of the sprawling Alabama city and the southern tail of the Appalachian foothills shortly after departure.
Tennessee River
Watch the massive bends and reservoirs of the Tennessee River as the flight moves toward the Mississippi border.
Arkansas River Valley
As you enter Arkansas, the landscape transitions into the lush, wide valley of the Arkansas River.
Kansas Prairie Grids
The final descent offers a mesmerizing view of the perfectly square agricultural plots and wind turbines of the Great Plains.
Sit on the left for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the plains, but be prepared for intense sun glare. In the winter, the snow-dusted fields of Kansas create a stark and beautiful geometric pattern from this side.
