PLS → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Providenciales Airport (Providenciales) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The flight from Providenciales to Atlanta offers a spectacular display of tropical geography. The left side is preferred for its prolonged views over the Exuma Cays and the dramatic depth transitions of the Great Bahama Bank.
Caicos Bank
Breathtaking views of shallow turquoise waters and shifting underwater sand dunes immediately after takeoff.
Exuma Cays
A stunning 120-mile long string of tiny islands and sandbars surrounded by sapphire water.
Tongue of the Ocean
A deep oceanic trench in the Bahamas that provides a sharp, dark blue contrast to the surrounding light blue shallows.
Okefenokee Swamp
The massive, dark, prehistoric wetlands of South Georgia visible as the flight moves inland.
Stone Mountain
The iconic granite monadnock is often visible on the left during the downwind leg of the approach to ATL.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to capture the vibrant colors of the Bahamas without engine heat distortion. The most intense ocean colors occur within the first 45 minutes of the flight. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to better see the reefs and sandbars through the water's surface.
North Caicos
Views of the greener, more lush islands of the Turks and Caicos archipelago during the initial climb.
Savannah River
The winding river and historic city layout of Savannah, Georgia, as you cross the Atlantic coastline.
Port of Savannah
One of the largest container ports in the US, featuring massive ships and cranes visible from high altitude.
Atlanta Skyline
Excellent views of the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead skyscrapers when landing from the west.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers the best perspective of the Georgia coastline and the Port of Savannah. If the flight approaches Atlanta from the north, this side provides the most direct view of the city center's architecture.
