ATL → MYR
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic reveal of the Atlantic coastline and the intricate marshlands of the Lowcountry as the plane descends into Myrtle Beach.
Atlanta Skyline
Excellent views of the Downtown and Midtown skyscrapers immediately following an eastbound departure from Hartsfield-Jackson.
Augusta National
Keep an eye out for the world-famous green fairways of the Masters golf course as you cross the Savannah River.
Lake Marion
South Carolina's largest lake, easily identified by its distinctive shape and surrounding wetlands near Santee.
The Grand Strand
Stunning views of the 60-mile stretch of white sandy beaches as the plane turns for its final approach into MYR.
The right side is prime for coastal views. As you approach MYR, look for the distinct line where the Waccamaw River meets the Atlantic. Morning flights will face the sun, so window shades may be needed until the final descent into the coastal region.
Stone Mountain
Look out shortly after takeoff to see the world's largest exposed granite monadnock rising from the Georgia woods.
Sumter National Forest
Expansive views of the rolling hills and dense pine forests of the South Carolina Piedmont region.
Lake Murray
A massive 50,000-acre reservoir near Columbia, often sparkling under the afternoon sun.
Darlington Raceway
The historic 'Too Tough to Tame' NASCAR track is occasionally visible near the South Carolina coast during descent.
Sit on the left for a potential glimpse of the Appalachian foothills in the distance and Stone Mountain shortly after takeoff from ATL. In the afternoon, this side is shaded from the harsh southern sun, making photography easier.
