PAP β ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Toussaint Louverture International Airport (Port-au-prince) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the vibrant turquoise waters of the Bahamas archipelago and a better angle for the Atlanta skyline on the typical arrival pattern.
Gulf of GonΓ’ve
Clear views of the large bay of western Haiti and the coastline of Port-au-Prince immediately after takeoff.
Exuma Cays
Stunning patterns of turquoise water and sandbars across the central Bahamian islands.
Okefenokee Swamp
The massive, dark wetland ecosystem crossing the Florida and Georgia border region.
Downtown Atlanta
On western arrival routes, the skyscrapers of downtown and midtown Atlanta are prominently visible.
Sit behind the wing to capture the gradient of deep ocean blues to shallow reef turquoises. For morning flights, this side is shaded, which is ideal for glare-free photography of the Caribbean reefs.
Massif de la Selle
The rugged mountain ranges of Haiti rising sharply from the coast near the capital.
Andros Island
View the deep blue 'Tongue of the Ocean' drop-off and the vast mangrove forests of Andros.
First Coast
The Atlantic coastline of Florida, including the historic beaches of St. Augustine.
Georgia Lowcountry
The winding river systems and dense pine forests typical of the South as you approach Atlanta.
The right side is perfect for early morning flights if you want to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep an eye out for potential rocket launches if your flight path passes near the Cape Canaveral corridor.
