GPT → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Gulfport Biloxi International Airport (Gulfport) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic Mississippi Gulf Coast immediately after takeoff and typically provides a better angle for viewing the Atlanta skyline during the standard approach into ATL.

Biloxi Beach Front
Direct views of the high-rise casino resorts and the white sand beaches stretching along Highway 90.
Mobile Bay
In the distance, the busy port of Mobile and the USS Alabama battleship can occasionally be spotted on clear days.
Montgomery Vista
Views of the Alabama State Capitol and the winding Alabama River as the flight path crosses central Alabama.
Atlanta Skyline
Spectacular views of Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscrapers as the plane aligns for landing at one of the world's busiest airports.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Mississippi coast. The arrival into Atlanta often follows the 'CANUK' or 'HOBTT' arrival routes; keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing, as the plane often banks to the left, putting the entire Atlanta skyline in perfect view on the right side.

Mississippi Sound
Aerial views of the shallow coastal waters and the barrier islands separating the sound from the Gulf of Mexico.
De Soto National Forest
Extensive stretches of longleaf pine savannas and southern Mississippi woodlands as the flight climbs to cruise altitude.
Appalachian Foothills
The very southern tip of the Appalachian range begins to ripple the landscape as you enter eastern Alabama.
Douglasville and Western Suburbs
Dense suburban development and shopping corridors visible as the aircraft begins its final descent into Georgia.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset colors over the Gulf and the pine forests. During the descent, watch for the Chattahoochee River snaking through the landscape just west of the airport. Clouds often gather over the Gulf in summer, so early morning flights typically offer the clearest views of the coastline.
