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

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.
