Sunshine Skyway Bridge
One of the most iconic bridges in the US, visible shortly after takeoff as you fly over the mouth of Tampa Bay.
Tampa Skyline
Panoramic views of downtown Tampa's skyscrapers and the sprawling Port Tampa Bay area.
Florida Lake District
Glimpse the hundreds of shimmering freshwater lakes around the Ocala and Gainesville regions.
South Georgia Farmlands
The landscape transforms into the iconic red clay and organized agricultural patterns of the Deep South.
Stone Mountain
On many northern approaches to ATL, you can see this massive granite monolith rising from the forest floor.
Downtown Atlanta
During the final descent, enjoy views of the dense urban clusters of Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown.
This is the 'urban' side of the flight. For the best view of the Skyway Bridge, look out the window within the first 5-10 minutes of flight. If landing toward the west at ATL, the right side often gets a direct view of the downtown skyscrapers. Use the late afternoon light to see the textures of the Georgia hills.

Expansive views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Florida's western edge immediately after departure.

A clear aerial perspective of St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, and the coastal barrier islands.
The Nature Coast
Bird's-eye view of the marshy, untouched coastline near Cedar Key and the Crystal River region.
Apalachicola Forest
A vast expanse of green pine flatwoods and cypress swamps as you cross into the Florida Panhandle.
