NAS → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Lynden Pindling International Airport (Nassau) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the stunning turquoise waters of the Bahamas during takeoff, followed by a full panoramic view of the Florida Atlantic coastline and the Kennedy Space Center.
Grand Bahama Bank
Incredible views of underwater sand dunes and coral reefs that look like abstract art from high altitude.
Kennedy Space Center
Clear views of the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads at Cape Canaveral.
Daytona Beach
The famous wide, white sandy beaches and the Daytona International Speedway visible further inland.
Jacksonville Port
Large container ships and the winding St. Johns River as it empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
Okefenokee Swamp
The dark, mysterious waters and dense vegetation of the massive peat-filled wetland on the Georgia-Florida border.
The right side is unbeatable for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. Try to sit away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Cape Canaveral. Keep an eye out for rocket launches if your flight coincides with a scheduled SpaceX or NASA window.
New Providence Island
Aerial views of Nassau's coastline and the luxury resorts of Cable Beach immediately after takeoff.
The Gulf Stream
Watch the dramatic color change where the shallow turquoise Bahamian waters drop off into the deep indigo of the Gulf Stream.
The Everglades
Vast expanses of Florida's famous river of grass visible as the plane enters the mainland.
Orlando Theme Parks
Distinguishable layouts of major theme parks and the urban sprawl of Central Florida during mid-flight.
Downtown Atlanta
Depending on the approach pattern, iconic views of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the city's skyline.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also superior for viewing the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico during evening departures. Watch for the circular patterns of Lake Okeechobee as you cross into Florida.
