ATL → TTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Trenton Mercer Airport (Trenton)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the major metropolitan centers along the Northeast Corridor, including the Atlanta skyline, the Potomac River near D.C., and the Philadelphia skyline during the descent.
Atlanta Skyline
Aerial perspective of Downtown and Midtown Atlanta skyscrapers and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium shortly after takeoff.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Views of the rolling Appalachian foothills as the flight progresses through North Carolina and Virginia.
The National Mall
On clear days, the Washington Monument and Capitol Building are visible while cruising over the DMV area.
Baltimore Inner Harbor
Clear sightlines of the Patapsco River and Baltimore's dense urban core.
Philadelphia Center City
Stunning views of the Philadelphia skyline and the Schuylkill River during the final descent into Trenton.
Sit on the left for the best urban photography. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting on the Appalachian peaks, while evening flights offer a spectacular view of the East Coast city lights. Keep your window shade up as you cross the Maryland border to spot D.C. landmarks.
Stone Mountain
The massive quartz monzonite dome is a prominent feature visible just east of the Atlanta perimeter.
Chesapeake Bay
Expansive views of the winding coastlines, inlets, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge as the plane heads north.
Delaware Bay
The meeting point of the Delaware River and the Atlantic Ocean is visible during the later stages of the flight.
Jersey Shoreline
Distant views of the Atlantic coastline and the barrier islands stretching toward Atlantic City.
Choose the right side for sunrise views if taking an early morning departure from ATL. This side is also better for observing the intricate waterways of the Chesapeake Bay. During autumn, the right side provides a great view of the fall foliage across the Delmarva Peninsula.
