MYR → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the South Carolina coastline upon departure, followed by the dramatic sight of Stone Mountain and the Atlanta skyline during the descent.
The Grand Strand
Catch a panoramic view of the 60-mile stretch of beach as the plane climbs away from the Atlantic coast.
Lake Murray
A massive reservoir near Columbia featuring over 500 miles of shoreline and the Dreher Shoals Dam.
Augusta National
If the flight path stays slightly north, you may spot the iconic emerald greens of the home of the Masters Tournament.
Stone Mountain
The world's largest piece of exposed granite is a prominent landmark on the right side during the approach to Atlanta.
Atlanta Skyline
Enjoy a spectacular view of the Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers if the aircraft approaches ATL from the northeast.
The right side is the 'star' side for this route. For the best experience, book a morning flight so the sun is behind you, illuminating Stone Mountain and the city. Stone Mountain appears roughly 10-15 minutes before landing. Avoid seats over the wing (rows 10-22 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the landmarks.
Waccamaw River Basin
View the winding blackwater channels and dense wetlands of the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge shortly after takeoff.
Congaree National Park
Look for the massive expanse of bottomland hardwood forest located just south of Columbia, South Carolina.
Savannah River
Cross the historic river that serves as the natural border between South Carolina and Georgia near Augusta.
Lake Oconee
A large, jagged reservoir in central Georgia known for its luxury resorts and golf courses visible from high altitude.
Choose the left side for better views of the expansive swamp systems and rivers of the Lowcountry. This side is typically shielded from direct glare during afternoon flights heading westward. Keep an eye out for the massive Hartsfield-Jackson terminal complex during the final taxi.
