ATL → VLD
Which side of the plane to sit from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta) to Valdosta Regional Airport (Valdosta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an excellent view of the massive Hartsfield-Jackson airport infrastructure during takeoff and the intricate geometric patterns of South Georgia's agricultural heartland.
ATL Runway Complex
A spectacular view of the world's busiest airport terminals and runways during the initial climb.
Flint River
The scenic, meandering Flint River is frequently visible as the flight heads south.
Agricultural Patchwork
Beautiful geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation fields in the Georgia breadbasket.
Banks Lake NWR
A view of the shallow marshlands and cypress trees just north of Valdosta.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the rural landscape. It offers the best perspective of the Hartsfield-Jackson airport operations upon departure. Use a window seat to spot the unique circular patterns of South Georgia's farms.
East Atlanta Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense urban forest and neighborhoods of the eastern Atlanta metro area.
Historic Macon
The cityscape of Macon, known as the 'Heart of Georgia', is visible mid-flight.
Ocmulgee River Basin
The winding path of the Ocmulgee River as it flows through central Georgia's Piedmont region.
Coastal Plain Transition
Watch the landscape shift from rolling hills to the flat, pine-dominated Coastal Plain.
Choose this side for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the Georgia pines. Keep an eye out for Macon roughly 20 minutes after takeoff. During the summer, this side avoids the direct, harsh afternoon sun.
