ATL โ STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a classic European landfall experience, featuring the French coast, the Rhine River, and the picturesque hills of the Black Forest during the final approach.
The Outer Banks
Long stretches of barrier islands and lighthouses along the North Carolina coast.
Normandy Coastline
The historic D-Day beaches and chalky cliffs of northern France.
Parisian Glow
If flying at night, the massive light footprint of Paris is often visible to the south.
Rhine River Valley
The winding Rhine, famous for its steep vineyards and medieval castles.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills as you enter the Baden-Wรผrttemberg region.
The right side is superior for observing the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. During the descent into Stuttgart, passengers on this side typically enjoy views of the Swabian Jura mountains and the iconic Stuttgart TV Tower. In very clear weather, the distant snow-capped Swiss Alps may be visible on the southern horizon.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Early views of the southern Appalachian range's rolling peaks and dense forests.
Newfoundland Coast
Rugged cliffs and deep bays as the flight exits North American airspace.
Irish Landfall
The first sighting of Europe often features the lush, green landscapes of southern Ireland.
London Metropolitan Area
Distinguishable urban sprawl and the Thames River if the flight path tracks north.
Benelux Landscapes
The dense urban patterns and infrastructure of the Belgian and Dutch lowlands.
Choose the left side for a chance to see the Aurora Borealis during the dark hours of the Atlantic crossing. As the flight approaches Europe, the morning sun will be behind you, providing clear, glare-free views of the British Isles and the Low Countries.
