ATL → JAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (Jackson)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Atlanta skyline after departure and the sprawling Ross Barnett Reservoir upon arrival in Jackson.
Atlanta Cityscape
Unrivaled views of Midtown, Downtown, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium during initial climb.
Talladega National Forest
Lush rolling hills representing the southernmost extent of the Appalachian region.
Birmingham Vistas
The industrial heart of Alabama, featuring views of Vulcan Park and the city center.
Ross Barnett Reservoir
The massive water body serving as a landmark indicator for arrival into Jackson.
Ideal for morning departures to see the Atlanta skyline in soft light. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the Pearl River valley into Jackson.
Chattahoochee River
View the winding southern stretches of this major waterway shortly after takeoff.
Montgomery Skyline
Glimpse the Alabama state capital and its historic downtown area in the distance.
East Mississippi Woodlands
Dense canopy coverage and timberlands typical of the Gulf Coastal Plain.
Alabama Farmlands
Geometric patchworks of agricultural fields between the state's forest belts.
Sit on this side during late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the glisten of the Alabama River bends.
