GGT → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Exuma International Airport (Great Exuma) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Great Bahama Bank's iconic turquoise waters and shifting sandbars immediately after takeoff, followed by a better perspective of the Georgia coastline and often the Atlanta skyline on final approach.

Great Bahama Bank
Breathtaking views of the shallow, white-sand sea floor and intricate turquoise water patterns right after departing GGT.
Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park
Aerial perspective of the protected marine area featuring pristine cays and vibrant coral reefs.
St. Johns River
As you cross the coast near Jacksonville, the winding path of Florida's longest river is clearly visible.
Okefenokee Swamp
The vast, dark wetlands spanning the Florida-Georgia border provide a stark contrast to the blue ocean.
Atlanta Skyline
Depending on the wind-dependent landing pattern, this side often provides a clear view of the Buckhead and Midtown skyscrapers.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic 'shallows-to-deep' water transition. Mid-morning flights are best as the sun is high enough to illuminate the sandbars without creating a blinding reflection. On descent, keep your camera ready for the transition from the marshlands of South Georgia to the urban density of Atlanta.

Tongue of the Ocean
The dramatic drop-off from the shallow bank into the deep, dark blue trench of the Atlantic.
Savannah River
View the massive container ships and historic port infrastructure near the Georgia-South Carolina border.
Tybee Island
Clear views of the popular barrier island beaches and the lighthouse near the mouth of the Savannah River.
Stone Mountain
If the aircraft enters a northern or eastern holding pattern, the massive granite monadnock is highly visible.
The right side is ideal for sunrise views on early morning departures from Exuma. It offers the best perspective of the Atlantic's deep waters and the barrier islands of the Georgia coast. If approaching ATL from the northeast, you will have the best view of the North Georgia mountains in the distance during autumn.
