DEN → ATL

Left Side of the Plane

Kansas City Metro
Visible as a sprawling urban grid centered around the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers.
Missouri River Confluence
Aerial views of the winding river paths as they snake through the midwestern plains.
St. Louis Gateway Arch
If the flight path trends slightly north, the iconic silver arch and downtown St. Louis are clearly visible.
Land Between the Lakes
A massive national recreation area featuring Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley in western Kentucky/Tennessee.
Chattahoochee National Forest
Dense, lush green forest canopies as the plane enters the northern Georgia airspace.
Sit on the left (Port) side to minimize sun glare during midday flights, which typically come from the south. This side is also better for spotting the Arch if the pilot takes a northern route. Keep your eyes peeled about 90 minutes into the flight for the Mississippi River crossing.

Pikes Peak
Visible to the southwest during the initial climb out of Denver on clear days.
Great Plains Irrigation
Striking circular crop patterns create a geometric quilt-like appearance across Kansas.
Ozark Plateau
The flat plains give way to the rugged, forested hills and deep valleys of the Ozark Mountains.
Mississippi River
A massive landmark crossing, often seen near the Memphis or Northern Mississippi region.
Atlanta Skyline
Depending on the wind-directed landing pattern, the right side often gets a sweeping view of Buckhead and Mid-town.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to catch the early light over the Ozarks, though you may need to lower your shade due to the southern sun. On the final descent into ATL, the right side frequently provides a superior view of the downtown Atlanta high-rises if approaching from the west.
