FAYATL

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this short hop, offering iconic views of Stone Mountain and the sprawling Atlanta skyline during the descent, along with the scenic rolling hills of the Piedmont region.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Sandhills Region

A unique geographic strip of ancient inland dunes visible shortly after departing Fayetteville.

💧

Lake Murray

A massive reservoir near Columbia, SC, known for its jagged shoreline and recreational boating.

⛰️

Stone Mountain

The world's largest exposed granite monadnock, a striking geological feature just east of Atlanta.

🏙️

Atlanta Skyline

Exceptional views of Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown skyscrapers as the plane aligns for landing.

✈️

ATL Terminal Complex

A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest airport layout during the final approach.

The right side is the 'money seat' for the approach into Atlanta. For the best view of Stone Mountain and the city, choose a window seat forward of the wing. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography as the sun illuminates the monadnock from the east.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🎖️

Fort Liberty (Bragg)

Immediately after takeoff, see the vast expanse of one of the world's largest military installations.

🏞️

Savannah River

The natural border between South Carolina and Georgia, characterized by winding blue waters and dense wetlands.

⛳

Augusta Area

Views of the suburban sprawl and lush green spaces surrounding the home of the Masters golf tournament.

🌲

Oconee National Forest

A dense canopy of southern pines and hardwoods stretching across central Georgia.

Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the sandy soils of the Carolina Sandhills to the red clay of the Georgia Piedmont.
