MBJ → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Sangster International Airport (Montego Bay) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior coastal views of Jamaica upon departure, potential glimpses of the Florida Keys, and a better angle for spotting landmarks like Stone Mountain during the final approach into Atlanta.
North Jamaican Coast
Beautiful views of the lush green mountains meeting the blue Caribbean Sea near Falmouth.
The Florida Keys
On clear days, the string of islands and the Seven Mile Bridge are visible in the distance.
Miami Metro Skyline
The dense high-rise corridor along the Atlantic coast, depending on the specific flight corridor.
Orlando Theme Parks
The massive scale of the resort complexes and the 'Eye' of Orlando can be spotted from altitude.
Stone Mountain
The iconic massive granite monadnock is often visible on the right during the arrival sequence into ATL.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the vibrant colors of the Caribbean. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes before landing; the right side often gets the best view of the Atlanta city skyline or Stone Mountain depending on the wind direction and runway assignment.
Montego Bay Coastline
Aerial views of the 'Hip Strip' and the coral reefs surrounding Sangster International Airport.
Central Cuban Plains
A cross-section of the Cuban countryside featuring rural landscapes and the northern cays.
Gulf of Mexico
Vast turquoise waters as the flight crosses the Straits of Florida heading toward the mainland.
Tampa Bay
Views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the sprawling metropolitan area of the Florida Gulf Coast.
Gulf Sunset
Unobstructed views of the horizon during late afternoon flights as the sun dips into the Gulf.
Choose this side for evening flights to experience the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. This side is also excellent for seeing the western edge of the Florida peninsula, including the Everglades and the white sands of Clearwater Beach.
