GRB → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Austin Straubel International Airport (Green Bay) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of views, beginning with the vast blue expanse of Lake Michigan and the iconic Chicago skyline, followed by the lush transitions of the Bluegrass region.
Lake Michigan Shoreline
Stunning views of the Wisconsin coastline and the deep blue water of Lake Michigan shortly after departure.
Chicago Skyline
On clear days, see the Willis Tower and the dense skyscraper cluster of the Windy City reflecting off the lake.
Indiana Dunes
The unique sandy landscape at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, marking the turn toward the south.
Kentucky Bluegrass
Rolling hills and patchworks of horse farms through central Kentucky as you head toward the Tennessee border.
Lake Lanier
The expansive reservoir in Northern Georgia that signals the final descent into the Atlanta metro area.
Book an early morning flight to see the sun rising over Lake Michigan. The Chicago skyline usually appears 20-25 minutes after takeoff; have your camera ready as the plane often flies parallel to the lakefront.
Lake Winnebago
Wisconsin's largest inland lake is visible almost immediately to the southwest after takeoff from GRB.
Milwaukee View
Aerial perspective of the Milwaukee metro area and its industrial history along the lake.
Ohio River Crossing
The winding Ohio River serves as a major geographic boundary between the Midwest and the South.
Nashville Basin
Potential views of the Cumberland River and the sprawling suburbs of Tennessee's capital city.
Atlanta Skyline
If the flight approaches from the north and lands toward the west, the right side offers the best view of Downtown and Midtown.
Choose the right side for late afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. This side is also best for spotting the Atlanta skyline during the most common landing patterns at ATL.
