Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic views, including the rolling Appalachian foothills and a superior vantage point of the Atlanta skyline during the standard landing approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Ohio River Bend

Immediately after departure from EVV, enjoy a sweeping view of the Ohio River as it snakes between Indiana and Kentucky.

🏔️

Appalachian Foothills

Mid-flight views of the eastern Tennessee valley and the start of the Blue Ridge mountain range.

🛶

Lake Allatoona

A sprawling reservoir in Northern Georgia known for its deep blue water and jagged shoreline.

🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

During the standard arrival patterns, the left side provides a direct view of the Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown skyscrapers.

🏟️

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

The distinctive architecture of the stadium and the surrounding Centennial Olympic Park area are visible on the final descent.

Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On morning flights, the sun is positioned to the east, providing perfect front-lighting for the landmarks on this side. If the plane lands toward the West, the left side is essential for seeing the city center.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌽

Kentucky Farmlands

A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and rural landscapes across Western Kentucky.

🎸

Nashville Basin

Distant views of the Cumberland River and the sprawling suburbs of the Nashville metropolitan area.

⛰️

Lookout Mountain

The prominent ridge extending from Chattanooga into Georgia is often visible during the transition into Georgia airspace.

🌲

Chattahoochee National Forest

Dense, lush green forest canopy that defines the geography of North Georgia.

✈️

ATL Airport Infrastructure

Get a bird's-eye view of the massive terminal layout and runway operations just before touchdown.

Choose this side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Alabama-Georgia border. While you miss the main skyline, you get a much better look at the complexity of the Hartsfield-Jackson airport grounds during taxiing and landing.
