Ozark Mountains
Beautiful views of the ancient, rolling highlands and limestone bluffs of the Ozark region.
Mississippi Delta
Aerial views of the vast, flat agricultural lands and winding oxbow lakes of the Mid-South.
Tennessee River
Massive bends and industrial dams near the Alabama and Georgia borders.
Atlanta Skyline
A stunning view of the Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers during the final approach from the west.
ATL Complex
A bird's-eye view of the massive terminal layout and five parallel runways of Hartsfield-Jackson.
Choose the right side to avoid the direct morning sun and catch the best views of the Tennessee River's wide bends. On clear days, the descent into ATL from the west often places the downtown and Midtown skyscrapers directly in view. Use a window seat behind the wing to keep the ground visible during the steep approach turns.
