LIT → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field (Little Rock) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft typically offers a superior view of the downtown Little Rock riverfront upon departure and provides the best opportunity to see the iconic Atlanta skyline during the approach into Hartsfield-Jackson.
Little Rock Skyline
Views of the Arkansas State Capitol and the downtown riverfront immediately after departure from LIT.
Mississippi River
A crossing of the massive, winding river that serves as the natural border between Arkansas and Mississippi.
Bankhead National Forest
Deep green vistas of the 'Land of a Thousand Waterfalls' in northern Alabama.
Appalachian Foothills
The beginning of the rolling Piedmont region and the southern tip of the Appalachian range as you enter Georgia.
Atlanta Skyline
If landing from the west, the left side offers clear views of Midtown, Buckhead, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. During the final approach to ATL, keep your camera ready as the plane often banks, providing a perfect frame of the downtown skyline if the flight path is from the west.
Arkansas Delta
Intricate agricultural patterns and flooded rice fields characteristic of the fertile Mississippi Alluvial Plain.
River Commerce
Industrial barges and maritime activity along the lower Mississippi River corridor.
Birmingham Metro
Distant views of the Magic City and the historic Sloss Furnaces in central Alabama.
Lake Martin
The sprawling, jagged shoreline of one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States.
ATL Terminals
A bird's eye view of the world's busiest airport's massive concourse layout during the final taxi-in.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the light hits the Alabama landscape with a warm glow. It also offers a great perspective of the massive logistics and cargo infrastructure on the south side of the Atlanta airport during landing.
