ATL → PBI
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Palm Beach International Airport (West Palm Beach)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, including the historic city of St. Augustine and the iconic launch pads of Kennedy Space Center.
Atlanta Skyline
Catch a glimpse of the dense downtown and Midtown high-rises shortly after takeoff from Hartsfield-Jackson.
Jacksonville & St. Johns River
View the expansive St. Johns River as it snakes through Jacksonville and empties into the Atlantic.
St. Augustine Coastline
Look for the distinctive Matanzas Inlet and the historic architecture of the nation's oldest city.
Kennedy Space Center
See the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads at Cape Canaveral from high altitude.
Gold Coast Beaches
Enjoy the turquoise waters and white sand beaches stretching from Vero Beach down to Jupiter.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. Look for the distinctive V-shape of the Kennedy Space Center runways. During descent, you'll see the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and the dense residential developments of the northern Palm Beaches.
Okefenokee Swamp
Fly over the massive, dark wetlands straddling the Georgia-Florida border.
Central Florida Lakes
Observe the thousands of small, circular lakes that dot the landscape around the Orlando and Ocala regions.
Lake Okeechobee
Witness the scale of Florida's 'Inland Sea,' a massive freshwater lake surrounded by a perimeter dike.
Sugarcane Fields
View the vast, emerald-green agricultural grid south of Lake Okeechobee known as the Everglades Agricultural Area.
Everglades Edge
See the northern reaches of the 'River of Grass' where human development meets the wild wetlands.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. You will get a superior view of the inland geography, particularly the massive scale of Lake Okeechobee. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Florida lake systems.
