Search flights from PIE to CHA
Clearwater Beach & Gulf Coast
Aerial views of the white sand beaches and emerald waters of the Florida coastline immediately after takeoff from PIE.
Withlacoochee State Forest
Fly over dense pine forests and wetlands of North-Central Florida as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
Atlanta Perimeter
On a clear day, view the western suburbs of the massive Atlanta metropolitan area while transiting Georgia.
Lookout Mountain
The iconic ridge stretching from Georgia into Tennessee, visible as the flight begins its final descent.
Tennessee River Gorge
Witness the dramatic 'Moccasin Bend' and the winding river cutting through the Appalachian foothills just before landing.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On the approach to CHA, watch for the sharp 180-degree turn of the Tennessee River near downtown. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Florida coast, while late afternoon flights provide beautiful shadows over the Tennessee ridges.

Tampa Skyline
A distant but clear view of downtown Tampa and the Port of Tampa shortly after departure.
Okefenokee Edge
The eastern horizon reveals the vast, dark expanse of the swampy terrain near the Florida-Georgia border.
Hartsfield-Jackson Views
The world's busiest airport is often visible to the east as you pass the Atlanta corridor.
Lake Chickamauga
Large reservoirs and dams along the Tennessee River visible during the final stages of the flight.
The right side is ideal for spotting the high-rise clusters of Atlanta during mid-flight. During the winter months, the leafless trees on the Appalachian foothills to the east allow for better visibility of the rugged terrain and hidden valley structures.
