SJU → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (San Juan) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the stunning turquoise waters of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos islands during the mid-flight segment, followed by a potential view of Stone Mountain during the descent into Atlanta.
Turks and Caicos
Vibrant coral reefs and white sand cays visible during the first hour of flight.
The Bahamas Chain
Spectacular contrast between deep blue ocean and shallow turquoise waters of the Exuma Cays.
Savannah River
The winding river border between Georgia and South Carolina as the flight moves inland.
Stone Mountain
A massive granite monadnock located just east of Atlanta, frequently visible on the standard arrival route.
Atlanta Skyline
Distant views of Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown skyscrapers during the descent sequence.
The right side is the 'vacation view' side. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to see the Bahamas' colors. For mid-day flights, the sun will be on the left side of the aircraft, making the right side better for glare-free photography of the islands.
El Yunque National Forest
Aerial view of the lush, mountainous tropical rainforest shortly after departure from San Juan.
Puerto Rico North Coast
Dramatic views of the Atlantic coastline and the karst limestone formations of northern PR.
Florida/Georgia Coastline
The point of entry into US airspace, often showcasing the marshes and barrier islands near Jacksonville.
Georgia Lowcountry
Expansive views of the pine forests and agricultural heartland of southern and central Georgia.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Puerto Rican coastline during takeoff. If the flight arrives into ATL from the west, the left side often provides a clearer view of the airport's massive parallel runway configuration during the final turn.
