Mobile Bay
Exiting Alabama, you will see the massive expanse of Mobile Bay stretching south toward the Gulf.
Montgomery, Alabama
View the state capital and the winding Alabama River as you cross the heart of the Deep South.
Suburban Atlanta
Aerial perspectives of the massive suburban developments and highway interchanges south of Atlanta.
Mississippi Sound
On final approach, look for the barrier islands and the shimmering waters of the Mississippi Sound.
Book a window seat on the left (usually seat 'A') for the best morning light and to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun. On clear days, you can spot the USS Alabama anchored in Mobile Bay during the descent. The views of the coastline are particularly vibrant in the late morning when the sun highlights the turquoise shallows.

The right side (seat 'F') is ideal for sunset lovers on evening flights, as the sun will set over the pine forests of Mississippi. Keep an eye out for the distinct red clay earth of Georgia and Alabama, which is most visible on this side. During the autumn months, the changing leaf colors in the national forests provide a beautiful patchwork quilt effect.
