ATL â MGM
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport (MONTGOMERY)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the Atlanta skyline shortly after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the Alabama State Capitol and downtown Montgomery during the final approach.

Atlanta Skyline
On westbound departures, this side provides a stunning panoramic view of Midtown, Downtown, and Buckhead.
Six Flags Over Georgia
The roller coasters and structures of the theme park are often visible during the initial climb out of ATL.
Chattahoochee River
The aircraft follows the general path of this historic waterway as it winds through the Georgia Piedmont.
Montgomery State Capitol
The historic white-domed capitol building and the surrounding downtown area are prominent during the descent.
Maxwell Air Force Base
Located just north of Montgomery, this historic base is easily identified by its runways and military facilities.
This is the 'city side' for this short hop. If taking off to the west, keep your camera ready immediately after wheels up for the Atlanta skyline. On approach into Montgomery, the right side usually faces the city center and the Alabama River.

Atlanta Motor Speedway
Located in Hampton, Georgia, this massive racing oval is clearly visible south of ATL shortly after departure.
West Point Lake
A large reservoir on the Chattahoochee River that defines a significant portion of the Georgia-Alabama border.
Jordan-Hare Stadium
The massive home of Auburn University football can be spotted as the flight progresses into eastern Alabama.
Tuskegee National Forest
Vast expanses of Southern pine and hardwood forests provide a deep green carpet beneath the wing.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The stadium at Auburn is most visible about midway through the flight; look for the concentrated white structure against the campus greenery.
