ATL → OKC
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Mississippi River crossing at Memphis, the southern edges of the Ozark mountains, and a more favorable angle for the Oklahoma City skyline during the final descent.
Memphis Riverfront
Clear views of the Mississippi River, the Hernando de Soto Bridge, and the Memphis skyline.
Ozark Plateau
The northern horizon showcases the rolling, forested hills of the Boston Mountains and the Ozark National Forest.
Arkansas River
Frequent sightings of the Arkansas River as it winds through central Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
Downtown OKC
Excellent views of the Devon Tower and the urban center when the flight approaches Will Rogers World Airport from the north.
This is the 'cool' side for afternoon flights, providing better lighting for photography. In the fall, the Ozark foliage visible to the north creates a beautiful tapestry of colors. During approach, watch for the transition from the lush green of Arkansas to the golden-brown prairie of central Oklahoma.
Atlanta Suburbs
Expansive views of the dense tree canopy and residential sprawl of western Georgia upon takeoff.
Mississippi Delta
The southern portion of the alluvial plain featuring complex agricultural patterns and smaller oxbow lakes.
Red River Valley
The distinct reddish silt and winding path of the river that separates Texas and Oklahoma.
On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side for the duration of the trip, which can cause significant glare and heat. Keep your window shade partially closed unless spotting specific landmarks. Look for Lake Texoma south of the flight path as you enter Oklahoma.
