Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the best vantage point for the Atlanta skyline during takeoff and the most scenic views of the Tennessee River's wide reservoirs.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏟️

Atlanta Skyline

Excellent views of Downtown and Midtown skyscrapers and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

🚤

Lake Guntersville

A massive, scenic reservoir on the Tennessee River visible in northern Alabama.

🌉

Mississippi River

The dramatic crossing of the United States' largest river system at the Arkansas border.

🏢

Little Rock Skyline

Vantage point for the state capitol and downtown buildings during the landing sequence.

⛰️

Pinnacle Mountain

A sharp, isolated peak that stands out as a landmark west of the airport.

Choose the right side to capture the Atlanta skyline shortly after departure. This side also provides the best perspective of the Tennessee River's hydrology. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting on the river systems.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

South Atlanta

Views of the sprawling airport infrastructure and the suburban fringe of the city.

🌲

Alabama Woodlands

Dense forest coverage of the Talladega National Forest and rolling ridges.

🚜

Delta Farmlands

The patchwork of agricultural fields defining the eastern Arkansas landscape.

🌊

Lower Arkansas River

The winding river loops south of the capital city as you begin the final descent.

The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh northern sun. Look for the transition from the rolling hills of Alabama to the flat Mississippi Delta plains about halfway through the flight.
