BZE → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (Belize City) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior primarily for the spectacular departure over the Belize Barrier Reef and the vivid turquoise waters of the Caribbean, followed by views of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Search flights from BZE to ATL
Belize Barrier Reef
Unparalleled views of the second-largest coral reef system in the world with stunning turquoise atolls.
Ambergris Caye
A clear view of San Pedro and the long, sandy stretches of Belize's most famous island.
Emerald Coast
The brilliant white quartz sands and emerald waters of the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast.
Atlanta Skyline
On typical northern approaches, this side often catches the skyscrapers of Buckhead and Downtown.
Priority should be given to the first 20 minutes of the flight; keep your camera ready immediately after wheels up for the reef. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the shallow Caribbean waters, making the coral structures pop in vibrant detail. If landing from the west at ATL, this side usually offers the best view of the terminal complex.

Belizean Rainforest
Dense tropical canopy and winding river systems immediately after takeoff from BZE.
Mississippi Delta
The intricate, bird-foot-shaped sediment deposits and wetlands of the Louisiana coast.
New Orleans
Distant views of the Crescent City, Lake Pontchartrain, and the massive Causeway bridge.
Talladega National Forest
The rolling green hills and dense woodlands of eastern Alabama during the descent phase.
The left side offers a front-row seat to the industrial and natural geography of the Mississippi River mouth. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh tropical sun reflecting off the Gulf, providing clearer views of the Louisiana and Mississippi wetlands.
