ATL → OMA
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Eppley Airfield (Omaha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of major landmarks including the Land Between the Lakes and a high probability of spotting the St. Louis skyline and Gateway Arch.
Land Between the Lakes
A stunning view of the massive Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley recreation areas in western Kentucky.
St. Louis Skyline
A chance to see the iconic Gateway Arch and the downtown area if the flight path tracks slightly east of the city.
Mississippi River Crossing
The immense scale of the Mississippi River as it marks the boundary between the eastern and western US.
Heartland Patchwork
Vibrant green and gold patterns of Iowa and Nebraska cornfields during the descent into Omaha.
The right side is best for morning flights to stay in the shade. Watch for the Missouri River during the final descent, as it serves as the natural border between Iowa and Nebraska right before touchdown at OMA.
Atlanta Metro
Sprawling views of the northern Georgia suburbs and the Chattahoochee River shortly after takeoff.
Tennessee River
Deep blue serpentine curves of the river as the flight crosses the Tennessee and Alabama border region.
Ozark Plateau
The transition from the lush forests of the South to the rolling, rugged hills of the northern Ozarks.
Missouri Plains
Vast expanses of the Great Plains featuring the distinct geometric grid patterns of American agriculture.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the western horizon without direct solar glare. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes in to catch the shifting terrain from forest to prairie.
