Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountain ranges, providing continuous scenic topography compared to the flatter coastal plains to the east.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Philadelphia Skyline

Clear views of Center City Philadelphia shortly after takeoff from the Trenton area.

⛰️

Blue Ridge Mountains

Continuous, rolling views of the ancient, hazy blue ridges stretching across Virginia.

🌲

Shenandoah National Park

The lush mountain canopy and the winding Skyline Drive visible from cruising altitude.

🚤

Lake Lanier

The massive, jagged-shored reservoir that serves as a major landmark for North Georgia.

🌇

Atlanta Perimeter

The sprawling suburban development and the 'King and Queen' buildings of the Sandy Springs skyline.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the mountains. Keep your eyes peeled right after takeoff for the Delaware River and the Philly skyline. During the descent, the right side often catches a glimpse of the massive Lake Lanier and the Buckhead skyline.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Chesapeake Bay

Distant views of the massive estuary and the Delmarva Peninsula to the southeast.

🏙️

Charlotte Skyline

The dense skyscraper cluster of Uptown Charlotte often appears as you cross into the Carolinas.

🪨

Stone Mountain

The world's largest exposed granite monadnock is a primary landmark on the final approach into Atlanta.

🍑

Georgia Pine Forests

The deep green expanse of the Piedmont's timberlands as the plane begins its descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the water bodies below. This side also provides the best perspective of Stone Mountain if the flight path follows the typical northern arrival route into ATL.
