TGU → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Toncontín International Airport (Tegucigalpa) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Caribbean coastline, the turquoise waters around the Bay Islands, and the stunning transition over the Florida Panhandle's white-sand beaches.
Lake Yojoa
Honduras' largest lake, nestled between volcanic mountains and lush national parks.
Bay Islands
Possible sightings of Utila and Roatán, characterized by vibrant coral reefs and turquoise Caribbean waters.
Emerald Coast
Spectacular views of the blindingly white sands of Destin and Panama City Beach upon re-entering US airspace.
Georgia Pine Forests
The sprawling green landscapes and winding rivers of the American South as you descend into Atlanta.
Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. The ascent out of TGU is particularly scenic on this side. During the mid-flight crossing, watch for the distinctive color change in the water near the Yucatan and Florida. In the afternoon, use your window shade to block the direct sun while over the Gulf.
Tegucigalpa Valley
Dramatic views of the dense urban layout and rugged mountains surrounding Toncontín during the steep climb.
Petén Jungle
The deep green canopy of Northern Guatemala and Belize, home to ancient Mayan civilizations.
Deep Gulf
A vast perspective of the Gulf of Mexico's deep blue waters during the central leg of the journey.
Mobile Bay
Views of the Alabama coastline, including the industrial ports and the intersection of the Mobile River.
Sit on the left if you are on a morning flight to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a better view of the mountainous interior of Central America before the flight heads out over open water. Keep an eye out for the Mississippi Delta in the far distance if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
