HSV → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Huntsville International Carl T Jones Field (Huntsville) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the Tennessee River valley upon departure and is generally positioned better for viewing the Atlanta skyline and major sports landmarks during the descent into ATL.

Lake Guntersville
A massive, winding reservoir of the Tennessee River visible shortly after departing Huntsville.
Lookout Mountain
The southern terminus of this famous ridge line stretching across the border into Georgia.
Atlanta Skyline
Panoramic views of Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown during the standard approach patterns.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium
The distinct pinwheel roof of the stadium is a primary landmark when landing from the west.
For morning flights, sit on the left to keep the sun at your back for clearer photos. This side is prime for spotting the skyline if the plane approaches ATL from the west, which is common during fair weather.
