KIN → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Caribbean coastline, the rugged western terrain of Cuba, and a spectacular approach over the Florida Gulf Coast and the Atlanta skyline.
Kingston Harbor
Dramatic views of the Palisadoes spit and the world's seventh-largest natural harbor immediately after takeoff.
Western Cuba
Aerial perspective of the Zapata Peninsula and the vibrant green agricultural landscapes of western Cuba.
Florida Gulf Coast
Stunning views of the emerald waters and white sand beaches stretching from Clearwater up toward the Panhandle.
Atlanta Skyline
On standard northern approaches, this side provides a clear view of the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscrapers.
For the best experience, book a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun moves behind the aircraft, illuminating the Florida coastline and the Georgia landscape with warm, direct light.
Blue Mountains
Jamaica's highest mountain range visible to the north as the plane climbs out of Kingston.
Havana
Distant views of the Cuban capital's sprawling urban layout and historic harbor during the island crossing.
Central Florida Lakes
The intricate patchwork of thousands of freshwater lakes surrounding the Orlando and Ocala regions.
Georgia Piedmont
The transition from coastal plains to the rolling, heavily forested hills of the southern Appalachian foothills.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of flight for the best shots of Jamaica's interior peaks before reaching cruising altitude.
