OKC → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Ouachita Mountains and a higher probability of seeing the iconic Atlanta skyline during the final approach into ATL.
Ouachita Mountains
Unique east-west running ridges and scenic valleys in central Arkansas.
Little Rock
Clear views of the Arkansas State Capitol and the riverfront area.
Mississippi Delta
A vast tapestry of agricultural fields and fertile floodplains south of Memphis.
Birmingham
Views of Alabama's largest city and the industrial ridges of the Appalachian foothills.
Atlanta Skyline
A spectacular view of the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscrapers during the final descent.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Most flight paths into ATL from the west provide a panoramic view of the downtown skyline if the plane is landing on the eastern-facing runways. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the cityscape with the winglet.
Ozark National Forest
Dense, rolling hills and hardwood forests covering the northwestern corner of Arkansas.
Mississippi River
A massive, winding silver ribbon marking the border between Arkansas and Tennessee.
Memphis Skyline
Distant views of the 'Home of the Blues' and the iconic pyramid along the riverfront.
Pickwick Lake
Expansive blue reservoirs formed by the Tennessee River in northern Alabama.
Sit here for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of the Mississippi River's oxbow lakes mid-flight. During the descent, you will see the sprawling northern suburbs and the Buckhead skyline.
